Arbeitsbuch Lyrik

How do you analyze a poem? How do you interpret a poem? And what exactly is a poem? Poems cannot be understood through imagination and feeling alone. Rather, interpreting a poem requires a range of knowledge. Meter, stanza forms, and rhetorical figures must not only be correctly identified but also effectively integrated into the interpretation. The workbook on poetry combines the teaching of the necessary tools with their concrete application, enabling readers to independently engage with poems in a scholarly manner. Topics include: application-oriented teaching of the tools for poem interpretation; a comprehensive introduction to meter and rhetoric; important verse, stanza, and poem forms and their history; historical contexts, intertextuality, image-text relationships; an overview of historical changes.
