Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will take a diachronic look at the theme of the overreacher and the English literary canon from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. Focusing on Marlowe's tragic appropriation of the German Faust-legend, Milton's Satan and the Byronic hero, our text-based analysis will be supplemented with contextual approaches such as new-historicist and archetypal criticism.
