Scientific Disciplinary Sector (SSD)

L-LIN/10 - ENGLISH LITERATURE

Period

I semestre dal Oct 1, 2015 al Jan 9, 2016.

Learning outcomes

The course “THE ENLIGHTENMENT” will show how literature, and the novel in particular, deals with the new scientific rather than theological understanding of the world. Identities and their related ethnic and social issues, will become more relevant. Through this filter we will analyse how the aesthetic, cultural, economic, philosophical and scientific changes of this complex age, rich in dramatic historical events, will permeate the literary field.
The course will be taught in English.
