Learning outcomes
The module aims at making students familiar with authors and genre modes representative of the English literature and culture of the period scheduled for the second-year course (1660-1830) and at fostering their critical approach to the texts and their contexts.
Program
Restoration theatre stages the impossibility to ‘restore’
The aim of this course is to guide students through the uncertainties and precarious balance between aesthetics, ethics and ideology that are to be taken as the Restoration bearers of the modern on its flourishing stage. Starting from Dryden’s most radical adaption of Shakespeare, passing through the highest point reached by the libertine comedy-satire with Wycherley, and then through its grotesquely tragic contestation in The Libertine, students are made aware of culturally crucial texts sharing in common not only themes but also a problematic genre definition.
