  • Length of course: 2 terms. Autumn (10 Weeks), Spring (10 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 14

  • Description:

    This is an established class for German literature enthusiasts, in which we read German plays and short stories, both classical and modern, and discuss them in English. Last year, for example, we 'performed' a play by Gerhart Hauptmann and read stories by Ludwig Tieck, J W von Goethe, Wolfgang Borchert and Robert Walser. The format works well, so will continue in the coming year. Applicants will need to be eager and fluent German readers - and willing to unleash their inner thespian for the play-reading!

  • Having studied German at university and kept it up in a desultory manner over the years, I revived my enthusiasm for German literature with U3AC.
