  Various literary scholars have commented on the problem of a literary subsystem known as "late realism". In the seminar we will read relevant literary texts as well as research opinions on the topic and will follow up with a literary theoretical discussion on the problem of epochalisation.

• SoSe 2020 "Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach"

  While Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach's texts were long marginalized and trivialized in literary history and literary studies, in recent decades the author has experienced a reassessment as one of the most important German-language narrators of the 19th century. In this seminar we will deal with biographical and historical aspects of her work, read selected prose texts by the author and examine Ebner's positioning within the poetic-realist literary system.

• WiSe 2020/21 "Lyrik und Prosa des Realismus"

  The aim of the seminar is to convey basic concepts, methods and techniques of literary studies and skills in dealing with literary texts. Using selected texts from the literary system "realism", literary-scientific working techniques will be tested and genre-theoretical questions will be discussed, especially concerning poetry and epic poetry.

• SoSe 2021 "Bettine von Arnim"

  In the seminar, we will work on aspects of the literary system of the Romantic period on the basis of selected letters and works by the author, but we will also look at the specific historical, social and sociological conditions of female writing of the time. Literature and reading information will be provided shortly before the start of the course via a Moodle course.
