Grundthemen der Literaturwissenschaft

This volume deals with the central issues of literary didactics and addresses important topics and concepts. Unlike other pertinent monographies and edited volumes, it aims to provide an introduction to the issues of literary didactics across philological disciplines. It starts by tracing selected historic developments, looking both at the history of classical literary tuition, and English and German literary didactics. The central questions take up fields of literary didactic activity and use selected examples to outline objects of literary inquiry and literary concepts. Ultimately, the volume uses its focus on interdisciplinary concepts and larger-scale discourses to carry out a classification within a larger frame of reference.
