This course will give you a chance to get acquainted with the work of the author who wrote this. W.H. Auden (1907-1973) was one of the major poets of the twentieth century. He was both unconventional and deeply rooted in literary traditions, both controversial and influential. The scope of the topics he addressed is impressive, and so is the versatility of his poetic voice. This seminar is not only for those who have always been keen on poetry. As his language is fairly accessible, this seminar would also be ideal for those who think they could do with more practice when it comes to reading and discussing poems. A reader will be available from the usual place in Reckhammerweg.
Requirements: thorough preparation for each session, active participation, and, if applicable, written work according to your particular Studienordnung. As always: think, enjoy (!), annotate, and look things up if necessary. |
