description: Vorlesung im WiSe 2008-2009; Mittwoch, 14. Januar 2009
abstract: This introduction, even though it is meant to provide a solid and useful survey of the major periods of poetry in English from the late Middle Ages to the present day, proceeds along somewhat unconventional lines: it is organized by function, i.e. by what a poem may do or achieve. For example, it may imitate, describe, create something, give pleasure, teach, show, pray, play, be a riddle, produce rhythm and music (make us snap our fingers or make a baby fall asleep), make things happen, make the addressee do something, make politicians forbid it, express feelings, relieve the writer from insufferable emotions (or pretend to do so) etc. Of course, most poems will fulfil several functions at once. And the list makes us see that it isn’t easy to distinguish between what poets wish to do by means of their texts and what poems do with their authors, readers, and culture in general.The lecture series will address at least three groups of students: (1) Those who enjoy poetry but would like to learn more about its history, nature and effects. (2) Those who do not enjoy poetry but would like to be given a realistic chance of learning to do so. (3) Those who belong to either group (1) and (2) and in addition look for a suitable exam topic.
