Norwegian | Examination semester
Spring | Objectives
The course will provide students with a solid knowledge of Norwegian/Scandinavian literature and literary history up to 1870, and contemporary literary analysis. The course does not qualify graduates to teach in Norwegian schools. | Contents
The course will give students a knowledge of Norwegian and Scandinavian literature from Old Norse literature to 1870. The study of literary texts will be closely related to the study of secondary literature in literary history and literary theory. The methods component is not only intended as a tool, but will also enable students to see how an individual textual analysis or other research result is directly related to a particular theoretical method and perhaps also to a value judgement.
Required previous qualifications/ courses: General entrance requirement. In addition it is necessary to have Norwegian skills equivalent to NOR-0100 Norwegian for foreign students: A one semester course which builds on Norwegian level III/ "Bergens-testen".
