Course objectives
The aim of the seminar is to provide intensive scholarly training to students who are planning to write their B.A. or M.A. thesis on 19th century Czech literature. The course will focus on revision and extension of the elementary skills gained in courses in literary history and literary theory with emphasis on specific work with primary literature (suitable editions), scholarly literature (books on literary history, monographs, studies in scholarly journals and anthologies), online sources and databases, and other useful tools (editing and revising documents).
At the end of the course, students will be able to prepare a scholarly thesis on 19th century Czech literature. The course will enhance the students’ familiarity with scholarly literature on 19th century literature and consolidate the basic skills needed for writing a scholarly text on 19th century Czech literature.
