L21 German 526Seminar Literature of the 19th Century: To Market: German and Austrian Women Writers (1860-1932)3.0 Units
Description: This course will examine the emergence of women writers in the German-speaking world in the critical period 1860-1933 when political, social, and economic flux provided women with ever more venues for publication and ever more opportunity for self-expression, literary representation, and critical commentary. Beginning with the successful writer Fanny Lewald, who initially cringed at the very thought of earning money, and ending with Vicki Baum, who knew how to write for the market, we will examine novels, short stories, books for children, advice books, poetry, autobiographical writing, essays, plays by women; the venues in which these works were published; the circumstances that made this writing possible; and the forces that opposed it. We will pay special attention to the book industry and the expansion of readership by women and girls, whose own lives were changing as they emerged from the confines of nineteenth-century domesticity and gained new access to work, study, commerce and consumption, and politics. We will treat works by, among others, Fanny Lewald, E. Marlitt, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Louise Otto Peters, Gabriele Reuter, Helene Böhlau, Clara Viebig, Rosa Mayreder, Elsa Lasker-Schüler, Irmgard Keun, and Vicki Baum. Select readings in gender theory and women's history will help to provide a critical apparatus with which to interpret and evaluate this work. Readings in German and English. Discussion in English.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
