The myth of Tristan form the Middle Ages to Modernity. The course aims to provide the main historical-literary coordinates on the birth and development of the medieval myth of Tristan. Once the ecdotic and historical problems related to the Tristanian tradition have been defined and analyzed, we will focus on the analysis, reading and translation of some passages taken from two more ancient ancient French texts: Béroul's "Roman de Tristan" , Thomas's "Roman de Tristan", Bern and Oxford's "Folies Tristan", Maria of France's "Lai du Chevrefoil", up to "Roman de Tristan en prose" and his Italian fortune. The last part of the course will be dedicated to the European fortune of the myth of Tristan and its modern reinterpretations.
