Objectives
English and German Literature has a strong and distinctive comparative literary approach. It has been specially designed for those wishing to pursue a study of German language and literature, together with the English-speaking tradition and the interconnections and interactions between the two cultures. You can choose to focus exclusively on post- 1918 German culture; but you can also combine the study of the modern period with aspects of eighteenthand nineteenth-century German culture.
