Learning outcomes

The course, taught in English, aims to provide students with an introduction to British literature from the Renaissance to late Romanticism, focussing on some of the most representative works. The course also aims to introduce the main critical approaches and the main features of literary genres. The overall goal of the course is to provide students with a good level of knowledge of literary history (in terms of historical context, texts, genres, movements and authors) and to develop their critical skills for analysis, argumentation and exposition in English, in relation to various typologies of literary texts in their historical-cultural context. At the end of the course, students will be able to: - analyse the set texts and place them in their respective historical-cultural contexts; - describe the texts in a structured and informed way, taking into account literary conventions and applying an informed critical approach; - discuss literary topics in English in a clear and consistent way.

Program

Wealth, Trade, and the Literary Culture: From the Renaissance to the Eighteenth Century
Through a selection of texts, dating from the Renaissance to the eighteenth century, the module aims at investigating – in drama, poetry, and the novel – ideas of social and economic mobility by analyzing their evolution and diverse literary and cultural implications.

The programme consists in three parts: a. Primary texts, b. and b.1 References, and c. Handbook (see BIBLIOGRAPHY section).
Further details on required readings, general information on bibliographical material, and exam method will be provided during classes.
Language: lectures will be in English.
Lectures will be online via Zoom.

The exam will consist in an oral discussion (in English) that will test the knowledge of the module’s topics (texts, authors, and genres) and the literary and cultural context (c. Handbook; main authors and movements from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment). Assessment will consider: 1. the knowledge and comprehension of primary texts, 2. the development of good analytical and synthetic skill levels with regard to the main historical, cultural, textual, and critical topics of the module, 3. the use of an appropriate vocabulary. Students may be required to read and comment on passages taken from primary texts (see a. above).
There will be no mid-term tests.
