Literature/Culture -- Third Period: Enlightenment through Realism

The reading list for the period from the Enlightenment to the late nineteenth century is organized according to conventional used in literary histories, not necessarily in terms of national or political histories. As you work your way through the texts, please remain aware that they come from very different political and cultural spheres, and as texts representing "periods," they are associated principally in terms of style and aesthetic ideologies which might not fit the sociopolitical contexts of their readers at all. Over the six individual periods, choose at least 20 works, with approximately equal distributions among and periods. In some cases, a choice is indicated by "or," indicating that you may not use both of the texts. Note that many of the essays are very very short. Thus the requirement of 20 works factors in the expectation that some of these short non-fictional prose texts will be included among the 20. It also is expected that you will offer at least one Bildungsroman (marked with •), one Novelle, and one other extended prose piece, such as a novel (either epistolary, like Werther or Sternheim), or a more popular form like a travelogue, woman's novel, or the like.

Poetry: Use Echtermeyer/von Wiese, Deutsche Gedichte. You must choose at least 16 poems from a total of 8 authors, with at least one poem from each of the 4 subsections in Echtermeyer, "Aufklärung, Empfindsamkeit und "; "Höhepunkte klassicher Lyrik"; "Romantiker"; and "Von der Romantik zum Realismus."
