Kommentar/Beschreibung

Though hybridity has become a crucial concept to describe postmodern literature, genre and media hybridity has been a feature of literature dating back to the Tudor Age. Texts that employ hybridity, fluidity and intersectionality across various genres, dating from various literary periods, will be our focus in the coming term. In the process you will learn to read both re-edited and original historical texts, and encounter startling examples of book and printing history. Beginning with the first English novel, William Baldwin's Beware the Cat (1561), which uses philosophical dialogue, fable, poetry, history and autobiography to satirical purpose, the texts we will read also - by their very hybrid nature - test the potential/limits of literary creation, and readers' willing suspension of disbelief. William Davenant's Restoration comedy A Playhouse to Be Let (1663) is a daring mix of farce, satire, exotic romance, musical drama, and meta-play, that beggars belief. At the intersection between artbook and poetry, we will next consider poems by William Blake, Instagram poet Rupi Kaur, and Robert Macfarlane's children's poetry collection The Lost Words (2017). Finally, we will address the graphic novel interacting with the novel in verse interacting with the young adult novel by reading Lita Judge's fictional autobiography of Mary Woolstonecraft Shelley, Mary's Monster (2017). Course participants are expected to have read Baldwin's text by the second week of term. You can download & print it here:

There will be tests on primary text knowledge within the course of the term, which you need to pass in order to qualify for your final written exam (AM Anglistik Literatur I) or oral exam (AM Englische Literatur). Further organisational details will be discussed in the first session. Please buy the editions listed above!
