Kommentar/Beschreibung

The Ministry of Culture in Saxony-Anhalt has released a list of reading recommendations for English classrooms grade 10-12. Our course will consider a wide variety of texts from this reading list across the periods, introducing you to canonical authors and genres in the process. We will begin with Blake's poem "Jerusalem" (1804) and consider its wider cultural impact as it has been set to music by William Parry in 1916 (a cultural afterlife which stands partly in strong contrast to the original meaning and context). Jane Austen's novel Northanger Abbey (1817) will introduce us to the Novel of Manners as well as to a satire of the Gothic craze of the time. George Bernard Shaw's comedy Pygmalion (1913) has had a very prolific afterlife in its musical movie version My Fair Lady (1964), while Mark Haddon's 2003 novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, attests to an ongoing contemporary fascination with autism and with fictional autobiographies. These three texts further share a focus on their young protagonists maturing and finding their identity that would, in contrast to Blake, make them ideal reading for an adolescent classroom. John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" (1915) might finally be more challenging to consider but introduces pupils to the pre-eminence the Great War has in British historiography and commemoration culture.
The poems will be made available through Stud-IP. Please obtain the editions listed above for our other course reading! Primary text knowledge will be tested in the course of the term!
