Learning outcomes
The course “Identity issues in 18th and Early 19th-c. Literature” will show how literature, and the novel in particular, deal with the new identities and ethnic issues which became more relevant during these centuries. Through this filter we will analyse how the aesthetic, cultural, economic, and philosophical changes of this complex age, rich in dramatic historical events, will permeate the literary field.
The course will be taught in English.
