The Roots of Modernity: Germany's Classical Age
GERM241 FA

Most of the questions we ask today, how we pose them, and what we assume were first enunciated around 1800. The course will explore such issues as the fictional character of social and economic arrangements, the problematization of reality, and the breakup of traditional modes of literary representation. The course's primary focus will be on one of the most complex works of European literature, Goethe's FAUST, with a special emphasis on Part II.
