| 470:329 - MONSTERS & HEROES (3 credits) | ||
| In German. | ||
| The course examines the mythic image of the hero and of monsters as reflected in literary and artistic manifestations. Readings are from the Germanic era, the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Focusing on the conceptual stability of the heroic amid the omnipresence of evil, the discussion will encompass discrete forms of combat in the perennial battle against the threat of destruction, the imperilment of civilization, the community or the self. | ||
