Inhalt/e

With a focus on Dark Romanticism, primarily written works created in the British and American tradition of the Gothic Novel and the sombre poetry of Dark Romanticism a) either in written works exclusively or b) in their subsequent new adaptations across the media, are to be investigated. Bleak imagery, diction, literary/poetic form, and the polysemy of possible readings when texts are adapted across the media deserve the course’s attention in terms of analyses of aspects brought to the fore through recontextualisation in search for deeper layers of meaning. Selected texts, shorter ones or extracts, by the New England writers like Edgar Allan Poe (in his case also poetry, his lyric protagonists like Annabel Lee, and himself as an iconic poet who has been reimagined as a person(ality) when transposed into other media like songs, films, comics), Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville will be considered, alongside British examples like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, John Polidori’s short story The Vampyre (1819) and especially the poetry and the lyric dramas written by Lord Byron (e.g. Manfred and single poems), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Kubla Kahn, The Rime of The Ancient Mariner), Percy B. Shelley (among others: Prometheus Unbound), and other (affiliated) works by authors of a bleak poetry. Considering German roots, E.T.A. Hoffmann‘s Der Sandmann/The Sandman, and Ludwig Tieck’s Der/The Runenberg will be touched upon, using English translations. Later, more naturalistic New England writers like Edith Wharton and Henry James (his shorter narratives, his essay “The Art of Fiction”) are distinctly interesting because mythic, fictional creatures and beings like ghosts are then rather being regarded as emblems of psychological events. Considering followers in the tradition, Irishman Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) and its subsequent adaptations across the (visualising) media (a videogame BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA exists), lead the way. + H. Walpole, H.P. Lovecraft etc.

Themen

  • original 'Gothic' novels, novellas, short stories, poems, lyric dramas etc.
  • their more recent adaptations in popular culture (movie, TV, videogame, song ...)

Lehrziel

The crucial aim is to increase the awareness of the need to unveil the many strata of meaning in the process of reading a Dark Romanticist text that in most cases has much more to offer than the narrative that is presented to us on the surface.
