German Studies [250S] - Goethe and T Mann

Institution:

Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

Investigates the link between the writings of Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832) and Thomas Mann (1875-1955), two major German authors. Mann considered himself the in­heritor of Goethe's perspective and strove to emulate his understanding of Goethe. Reading major works of Goethe, such as Götz von Berlichingen, Wilhelm Meister's "Apprenticeship," and Wilhelm Meister's "Journeyman Years," we shall compare them to Thomas Mann's (1875-1955) works, in particular "The Magic Mountain," "Doktor Faustus" and numerous shorter works, for their aesthetic, political and social influences on Ger­many. Prerequisite, any 100-level literature course. Taught in English.
