Conducted in German. A survey of German literary culture from inscriptions written in the rune alphabet through the Middle Ages to the ruins of 20th-century wars and exilic texts. Students will go on a field trip to the library and archives to exam manuscripts and book culture. Selected works will be analyzed against the background of historical events and European literary movements. Review of advanced grammar points, vocabulary building exercises, short writing assignments, and oral reports help students improve their overall proficiency in German.
