It is complemented by a Lektüreseminar or Lektüreübung in which selected texts from the respective periods are discussed in greater depth. The courses are based on the Norton Anthology of American Literature (Shorter 9th Edition), which is an essential text for the study of American literature. Selections will be available on moodle.
In conjunctions with the lecture, BA English students take a Lektüreseminar; B.A. students in American Studies will be tutored by more advanced students in the Master program (Lektüreübung).
The lecture will be uploaded on Moodle in weekly installments. |
