In todays lecture, a brief introduction to the writer Stefan Zweig and his work “Beware of Pity”, as well as Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam’s “The Unknown Woman”, plus a brief intro to symbolism/realism/sentimentalism/romanticism.

Above all, I hope this video inspires you to engage in some of your own reading! I’ll be adding a reading list to the comments below.
