Literature: German Literature Post 1945
This course, composed of new texts, builds on similar courses on German literature given by Stephen Smith. Four novels and one poet will be analysed and placed in context over the 10 weeks’ duration of the course.
The first text, The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, was actually written in 1938, but having recently been rediscovered, it is too good not to include. We will begin with this novel and then explore:
Vertigo - WG Sebald.
Lost - Hans Ulrich Treichel.
Kairos - Jenny Erpenbeck.
The Poetry of Durs Grunbein.
The course will offer great scope for discussion of excellent texts, which are intellectually, imaginatively and emotional stimulating.
