Course contents:

This course focuses on the rise and development of European theatre critique in relation to the rise of professional journalism and consideration of the wider European arts and social context. Emphasis is placed on individual types of theatre critiques - romantic, impressionistic, research, urban, academic, etc. - and their key representatives (W. Hazlitt, J. Janin, H. Taine, Sainte-Beuve, F. Sarcey, G.B. Shaw, W. Archer, K. Tynan, B. Dort, R. Brustein, E. Bentley, etc.).

Recommended or required reading:

The basic study materials are period theatre critiques by important European persons (William Hazlitt, Fracisque Sarcey, Emile Zola, G.B.Shaw and others). and also the „manifests“ of those critics covering the authority and obligations of the theatre critic and, finally, the aim and mission. Specific materials are assigned with consideration of students language abilities.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods:

To receive credit 80% class attendance (two absences are tolerated), joining in discussions and a paper on an assigned topic are necessary. If needed partial tasks may be assigned (research, comparative analysis, etc.).
