With the impending centenary celebrations of 1914-1918, it seems appropriate to reassess some of the poetry that has been produced in connection with the First World War. We will briefly touch upon common features of war literature and on texts and circumstances of canonic writers. The main goal of this course, however, will be to get to know and explore lesser known poets, such as Isaac Rosenberg or John Rodker, for whom the war experience brought to the fore their ambiguous position in British society. A reader with texts for the seminar and an extensive bibliography will be available at the copy-shop in Georgenstrasse. |
