Learning outcomes

The module aims at offering an overview of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English literature and culture, as well as at presenting the students with the basics of textual and literary genre analysis.
On successful completion of the module, students will achieve a good knowledge of the cultural context in which the texts included in the programme were composed. They will be able to develop a coherent and detailed interpretation of the texts, apply key methods and concepts relevant to textual analysis, and provide a plausible critical interpretation in a register and style that serve the context and intention.

Program

Original sin(s) and fictional conversions. From Milton to Richardson.

The module will deal with a selection of poetic and narrative late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts on the basis of the changed (and changing) notions of sin and conversion, and their representation, looking at their various literary, religious, cultural, and political aspects. Different genres will be taken into account: from epic, to spiritual autobiography, to the novel.

The programme consists in three parts: 1. Primary texts, 2. References and 3. Handbook.
Language: lectures will be in English.
Please be advised: further details on required readings and general information on bibliographical material will be provided during classes.
Futher material will be available for download from the MOODLE e-repository.
