This interactive course is intended for advanced students of English interested in a wide variety
of literary texts from the time of Chaucer to the Romantics, which are all either topographical or
in some way related to a particular region in England or in Wales. The course is particularly
addressed to students preparing for the final exam (Diplomprüfung) intending to supplement
their reading portfolios and/or who wish to deepen their knowledge of both English literature and
cultural history. Several famous pastoral locations featuring in English poetry, as well as
birthplaces and places of residence of various English and Anglo-Welsh authors and sites
otherwise linked with the cultural heritage of England and Wales will be visited in the course of
this literary journey both imaginatively, on the basis of the texts selected, and visually, by means
of slides, videos and by direct online-access. We shall visit Chaucer's Southwark, the cell where
the late 14 th c. visionary and anchorite Julian of Norwich wrote her spiritual autobiography, the
small parish church of Bemerton near Salisbury where George Herbert wrote most of his
meditational verses, Credenhill, the small village in Wales where Thomas Traherne lived and
wrote his religious poems and prose meditations and we shall call at venues portrayed in famous
topographical poems (Penshurst Place, Eton College). We will finally arrive at idyllic sites in the
Lake District celebrated by Wordsworth and many minor Romantics poets. (A complete list of
texts will be put up on the notice board by the end of February).
Requirements: Regular attendance, paper of about 2000 words, one presentation in class (15
mins), active participation in the discussions, final exam.

This class continues from last term’s lecture course and invites you to apply topics and themes
presented during the winter semester to your own movie experience. You are expected to be
familiar with the basic vocabulary of film studies and the techniques of cinema. We will focus on
close analysis of sequences from the films of your choice. This class is meant to meet the needs
of students who want to include films and movies into cultural studies research projects.
