- Inhalt:
- This course is designed specifically for students of all "Lehrämter" who prepare for the written "Staatsexamen" in English Literature according to the new LPO. However, students preparing other - oral or written - final exams are very welcome, too.
Students will first revise basic terminology for the analysis of poems, narrative and dramatic texts and receive an overview of literary history. After that, each session will be dedicated to one set of "Staatsexamen" questions from previous years. The range of topics (e.g. "Thema 1: Dramatische Texte der Renaissance," "Thema 6: Narrative und expositorische Texte des 19. Jahrhunderts" etc.) will depend on the participants' interest. (Before the beginning of the semester, I will invite all participants to take part in a poll in order to find out which topics ["Körbe"] they want to prepare for their "Staatsexamen.")

- Inhalt:
- William Shakespeare's works are well know, or should be well known, to all students of English literature. However, when reading Shakespeare some people struggle to fully appreciate his language or his brilliantly designed characters.
This course aims at all of those students who would like to enjoy Shakespeare's works together with other students. Thus, we will not only read two pieces by Shakespeare, one comedy and one tragedy, we will also provide a platform for discussion or even stage a few scenes to further our understanding of what is going on.
If you want to join us, you need not have any previous knowledge, only bring a copy of the play and comfortable shoes.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- William Shakespeare. Taming of the Shrew.
William Shakespeare. Henry V.

- Inhalt:
- Ancient Egypt has long held a special place in Western imagination. The tales of Gods, Pharaohs, war and pyramids have captivated European readers even before Napoleon s 1798-1801 campaign in Egypt, which unearthed archaeological sensations and decisively fed Egyptomania all over Europe. Ancient Egypt, it seems, provides an interesting form of the Other for the Europe. Its exoticism, occultism and overwhelming architecture still continue to fascinate visitors and readers today. For Great Britain, Egypt provided a double locus for the Other with Ancient Egypt and Colonial Egypt. British travellers and writers capitalised on the allure of the exotic while viewing the country and its inhabitants through the lens of colonialism.
This class will explore the British imagination of Colonial and Ancient Egypt through British literature and culture, such as architecture and art, feeding off the vision of Egypt from the 18th to the 20th century. To do so, this class will use Edward Said s theory of Orientalism to position Egyptomania in the British imagination. In addition, we will also have a look at a variety of literary forms, ranging from crime novels to dime novels, to examine why Egypt has been so enthralling to British audiences.
Since this class covers both literary and cultural studies, students are asked to prepare the books indicated below and watch the films in preparation before the semester starts. Further texts, excerpts or films can be added throughout the semester and will be announced on the VC class.
