Anybody interested in reading and discussing Shakespeare is very welcome, regardless of their course of studies.
You need not register for this course, just come along in the first session and bring a copy of the plays.
- 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. Cymbeline.
William Shakespeare. King Henry IV, part I.

- Inhalt:
- Crime fiction is one of the most popular genres in literature and film and most readers are familiar with fictional detectives such as Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple. However, many crime novels or films are based on actual crimes or actual detectives, often without explicitly stating so. Or did you know that Wilkie Collins’ in The Moonstone, one of the first ever crime novels in English, some of the elements of the story are actually based on a real crime, even on a murder?
Besides fictional stories including real elements, there is the whole genre of true crime fiction, stories of real crimes told in an entertaining way. Just like fiction, true crime fiction, as the name already implies, makes use of narrative strategies and literary elements since, after all, they still tell a story. But what are the differences between fictitious stories and factual stories told with the same narrative strategies? Are there any differences? And how does that work for film? Are there differences in the depiction of real and fictitious crimes? All of these questions are going to be examined in this class and we are going to discuss literature of various kinds, film and documentaries, and other texts.
Please be aware that you need to read several texts throughout the semester!
