1. The of this course is to present a chronological survey of German
literature in English translation so that students having litte
or no knowledge of German can appreciate German literary
masterpieces.
2. The class will primarily focus on complete works by major German
authors who are universally known and whose writings still have
considerable relevance to 20th century readers.
3. The main focus of the course will be on the works themselves as
literature, and lectures will aim at helping students to understand
and appreciate works read.
4. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and to share and
critique each other's ideas in class discussions.
5. The instructor will try to show what is specifically "German" (as
well as universal) in German literature and to foster a sensitivity
to ideas and values within a culture that is in many respects
very different from their own.
Topics and Scope
Untitled document

questions as the author's motivations in writing and the content
and style of his or her works.
3. Significant biographical details will be provided for each author.
Assignments:
