Course Offerings
SLN 17184 TTh 2:30 - 4:20 Instructor: Grabowski 5 credits (VLPA) Conducted in English. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the major aesthetic trends and social context of Polish literature from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century. The primary aim will be to examine various genres and styles of writing together with some historical background of particular works. By focusing on close textual reading and discussing general moral problems as they appear in the works discussed, we will try to discover what is "unique" and "typical" in the Polish artistic imagination in its attempt to describe the experience of Poles in the history of modern Europe. We will also examine common images and symbols as well as the ideas that have dominated the Polish intellectual stage of the last two hundred years. The list of readings includes such authors as Mickiewicz, Slowacki, Krasinski, Norwid, Prus, Wyspianski, Witkiewicz, Gombrowicz, Milosz, Herbert and others. Although the course is taught in English and based on translations, particular readings may be compared with the original.
