Realism and Reality: German Prose 1848-1898
GERM 363 FA
German realism developed later and assumed more modernist forms than similar movements in England and France. The focus will be on the relationship between the progressive thematics of important literary texts and the
subtle formal experiments created
to express them. Themes to be explored include the "Jewish question," sexuality and society, and the Prussian rise to power. The major authors to be read are Fontane, Raabe, Keller, Saar and Storm
