COL 340 |
This course provides an introduction to Germany's most important writer. The focus will be, first of all, on close reading of key texts from the poetry, prose and drama. Goethe's biography and its sometimes revealing, sometimes problematic contextualization of the works will provide another major focus. Some attention will be given to the checkered reception of Goethe in German and Austrian literature as well as to recent controversies concerning his reactionary politics. |
