Course objectives
The aim of this comparatistics oriented seminar is to deal with the works of Czech and German 19th century literature. We will try to capture the depiction of important people and events of Czech history (the Hussite movement, for example) and the depiction of mythological characters (e. g. Libuše, Vlasta).
We shall not omit the question of reception and translation, too. If there exists a translation, we will prefer the original work and the translation will just be taken into consideration.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- to analyze and compare the literary texts written in Czech and German;
- to understand the context of Czech and German-language literature and their coexistence in the Central European literary space in the 19th century;
- to think about the concept of the history of Central European literature in supranational contexts;
- to find their own themes from the history of Czech-German literary relationships.
