55-4208PR CRW: Continental European Writers

In this course students will research the writing processes of the most notorious twentieth century writers of Continental Europe—F. Kafka, G. Myerink, C. Capek, J. Hasek, M. Kundera, and others—whose lives and work were inseparable from Prague. In addition to their novels and stories, journals, diaries and other tools of the craft will be used to gain deeper insights into and understanding of how these writers developed dramatic new dimensions of the art of fiction. The advantage of being on sites where writers lived and worked will be used to full extent.
