Program

The course aims to investigate the evolution of the genre of the epistolary novel in Italy between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
After a first overview aimed at outlining the birth of the genre in Italy and in Europe, through the study of the major critical contributions and the anthological reading of some exemplary texts, the course will focus on three emblematic texts of our tradition: Storia di una capinera, by Giovanni Verga; Before Dying, by Marchesa Colombi and Allegory of November, by Aldo Palazzeschi.
