Course content
The academic content of the course, i.e. topic and theory will vary from one semester to another. The course is an advanced course in selected themes within modern literature, primarily European and Scandinavian, from the Romantic period to the present. Courses may focus on a specific period, trend or genre (the poetics of symbolism, the naturalistic novel, the breakthrough of modern drama, the literature of the absurd, the modernist poetry of 1900-era etc.) or be thematically defined. They may also focus on literature in a setting of social studies, the history of ideas, and inter aesthetic matters (for example Impressionist art and literature, modernism in theatre, music, art, and literature), or adaptations between literature and other media.
