Course Description

This course deals with artistic works that challenge social norms, often centring upon rebellious individuals. We begin with the wild and excessive 'Sturm und Drang' movement of the 1770s, before exploring some of the impassioned and inventive works of the subsequent Romantic period. The course includes texts by authors such as Goethe, Schiller, Kleist and Hoffmann. It seeks to understand the transgressive potential of art, while dealing with issues such as: the role of extreme emotions; the subversive function of fantastic literature; how identities and gender roles are established or challenged; how writers and thinkers participate in bringing about cultural change.
