Prereq: 210.362 The legendary figure of Faust, a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge, self-fulfillment and power, has attracted continuous interest from writers, artists, composers and thinkers over the last 400 years. This course will analyze the various transformations of the Faust legend as they emerged in German literature since the 18th century. It will focus especially on how the different treatments of the legend adapt the motif to its particular historical situation, and where exactly the elements of (dis)continuity lie. By means of close readings, the seminar will also investigate the multiple forms and genres by which the legends have been represented, as narrative texts, dramas, poems or films. Authors include: Lessing, Klinger, Goethe, Grabbe, Heine, Hesse, Lasker-Schüler, Klaus Mann, Brecht. We will also consider F.W. Murnau's and P. Gorskiâs film versions of Faust, as well as I. Szabóâs movie Mephisto based on Klaus Mannâs novel of the same title. Readings and discussions in German.

Authors to include Lessing, Schiller, Goethe, Tieck, Kleist, Stifter, Hofmannsthal, and Walser. Reading and discussion in German.
