This course is addressed at students who are preparing for or working on a final thesis in English or American Literature. It is supposed to offer continuous support to students while preparing or writing their theses, and to give them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with other students. The course consists of individual consultations and occasional plenary sessions. In the plenary sessions, we shall discuss more general topics, how to use theory, how to build an argument and also formal aspects and criteria of a thesis. The individual sessions consist of one-to-one tutorials in which you can discuss the argument, the progress and possible problems of your thesis with me. For students in the BA, MA and new teacher training programmes, who write their thesis in literary studies, this course provides the "Betreuungsübung". Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss your topic and make individual appointments. Do not us my office hours for this.

3. Tutorials:

Das Seminar "Introduction to English and American Literary Studies" wird durch folgende Tutorien ergänzt:

a) Begleitendes Tutorium zur "Introduction to English and American Literary Studies A" zur Vertiefung und Ergänzung der im Kurs besprochenen Themen; eine zusätzliche Anmeldung ist nicht notwendig. Dieses Tutorium wird von derselben Dozentin unterrichtet wie die Introduction selbst.
b) Basiskurs Bibliothek, bestehend aus eine E-learning Modul und einer Übung (90 Minuten); Anmeldung über den Virtuellen Campus der Universitätsibliothek.

Inhalt:

This course provides a concise introduction to major themes and methods in the study of English and American Literature. We will discuss key features of the main literary genres poetry, prose fiction and drama, explore selected approaches in literary theory and criticism as a basis for analyzing and interpreting literary texts, and survey the main periods and developments of predominantly English literary history.

Please note that all Introductions to English and American Literary Studies prepare students for the analysis and interpretation of both English and American literature. The only difference is that the Introductions taught by members of the English Literature section use literary examples from a primarily British context, and those taught by members of the American Studies section use primarily American examples. Choosing one or the other Introduction does not mean that you specialize in English or American literature, and you don t have to take your later courses in the same area.

The following applies only to students whose Basismodul Literaturwissenschaft contains both the Introduction to Literary Studies and a lecture:
The final written exam of this Introduction to Literary Studies is also the module exam for the Basismodul Literaturwissenschaft. The exam will contain questions about both the content of the Introduction and the lecture (free choice: English or American Literature lecture). Students, therefore, are advised to take the introductory class either after attending the lecture OR in the same semester.

Inhalt:

This course is designed specifically for students of all "Lehrämter" (students in teachers training) who prepare for the written "Staatsexamen" (state exams) 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 course will cover all of the "Körbe" used in Staatsexamen (englische Literatur) (e.g. "Thema 1: Dramatische Texte der Renaissance," "Thema 6: Narrative und expositorische Texte des 19. Jahrhunderts" etc.). After the revision sessions, each session will be divided into a revision of the literary history of the respective "Korb" and a detailed analysis of one state exam question from this "Korb". All participants need to prepare a presentation based on these questions and the literary and historical background for each of them.

WCIHTIG: Wie die Introduction to English and American Literary Studies (A) wird auch das dazugehörige Tutorium voraussichtlich in Präsenz unterrichtet. Das Tutorium beginnt erst in der zweiten Semesterwoche. Die Zugangsdaten zum VC-Kurs des Tutoriums werden im VC-Kurs der Introduction (A) veröffentlicht.
IMPORTANT: Like the course Introduction to English and American Literary Studies (A) this course is planned as an in-person course. The tutorial starts in the second week of term. The access information for the VC course for this tutorial will be published on the VC course for Introduction (A).

This optional tutorial accompanies the seminar Introduction to English and American Studies (A) and it focuses on practical training in using the terminology discussed in the seminar. Students will be given the opportunity to practice writing mock-exam essays. Overall, the tutorial provides the practice to the Introduction's theory and we highly recommend students take both courses to adequately prepare for the exam, their future studies in literary studies and (eventually) their state exams.
