GERM 64.02 Pulp Fiction Meets High Literature: Media and Writing in 19th-Century Germany

To be a writer in 19th-century Germany meant to interact with a thriving media market: For the first time, writers wrote for a mass readership and published in illustrated magazines, where their writings appeared together with news items, pulp fiction, other kinds of entertainment, and images. Reading works by Heine, Fontane, Droste, and others, we will explore the complex aesthetic strategies with which they responded to this media challenge. The course will refine key research methods in German Studies. Conducted in German. Open to all classes. Can be taken as a Culminating Experience by doing additional work.
