Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course students will be expected to demonstrate sound knowledge and understanding of the development of writing in 18th century Germany from the Age of Sensibility to Romanticism; to construct coherent arguments which demonstrate an awareness of the problems and issues posed by the key texts by major figures of the period; to recognise a Cult of Feeling which spans most of the 18th century; to foster an understanding of the literary text as a source for the study of cultural and intellectual history; to demonstrate a high level of expression in both written and oral presentations and to offer alternative perspectives and show an awareness of contrasting viewpoints.
