The course Prague German literature offers an insight in the Prague German literature, which is very often reduced only on Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke, but you will see, that there were several good and at that time well known writers, but some of are by current readers unfortunately forgotten. After a brief introduction, which helps you to understand the specifics of German-written literature, which is a part of the cultural history of Bohemia, you will get knowledge about the authors and their selected pieces of work. The introduction provides you a picture of Prague and its literature at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, its traditions and special tendencies, neo-romanticism and the Prague Myth. Afterwards the life and work of e.g. Reiner Maria Rilke, Franz Werfel, Egon Erwin Kisch, Lenka Reinerová, Johannes Urzidil, Gustav Meyrink will be presented.
