Learning outcomes

The course will analyse the cultural background and the literature of the 18th century in order to highlight the coexistance of rationality (the age of Enlightenment) and sensibility (the Pre-romantic age). Both these will contribute to a personal and unique subjective perception of the world which will culminate in the individualistic spirit characteristic of the pre-Romantic and Romantic period.

Program

The ‘Invention’ of the Northern Landscape
In order to free themselves from the classical conceptions of aesthetics, English theorists formulate, during the 18th century, new aesthetic hypotheses which will give importance and free a positive reception of the ‘barrenness’ of the North. The pictoresque, Burke’s sublime, the Saxon-gothic and the English garden will testify the emancipation of English art and literature from their dependence from the, in itself already regional, Greek aesthetics. The picturesque will be read as an ante litteram ecocritical attitude.
