ENGL 90244 - Literary Criticism from Aristotle to Jakobson

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

The course will render the students familiar with some basic texts from two millenia. We will begin with Aristotle's "Poetics", discuss Horace's "Ars poetica" and Longinus's "On the sublime". The medieval period will be represented by a work by Dante. A special focus will lie on the creation of modern literary criticism in German idealism, but we will also discuss post-idealistic works (including Nietzsche) and end with Roman Jakobson's groundbreaking structuralist approach to the nature of poetic language.
