The World of Doctor Faustus

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This seminar taught in German centers on a close reading of Thomas Mann's novel "Doctor Faustus", considered one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. Doctor Faustus alludes to a wealth of other materials, and our discussions will thus also cover the history of the Faust myth, the origins of Nazism, the philosophy of Nietzsche, and other topics.
