L-LIN/10 - ENGLISH LITERATURE
Period
I semestre (Lingue e letterature straniere) dal Sep 26, 2022 al Dec 23, 2022.
Learning objectives
The course, held in English, aims at introducing students to relevant aspects of English literature, from the Pre-Romantic to the contemporary period, through the reading of a selection of canonical texts. Primary notions about possible methodological approaches for the analysis of literary texts and genres will be imparted. Furthermore, the course will provide a sound knowledge of the English literature of the period (historical context, texts, genres, literary movements and authors) and stimulate abilities and skills for the critical analysis of texts, their discussion and analysis, in consideration of their historical, cultural, and context specificities. At the end of the course, students will be able to: - Analyse the literary texts of the syllabus discussing them in relation to their historical and cultural context; - Discuss the texts using an appropriate critical approach demonstrating the knowledge of the literary conventions of their time; - Express the acquired literary and critical knowledge demonstrating an adequate competence also in the English language.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Being a first-year exam, no preliminary skills, other than those required to enroll, are required. A sufficient competence in English, however, is advisable in order for students to understand lectures conducted in English, comprehend primary texts and scholarly work in the discipline in English, and take the exam in English.
Program
Women Living in Each Other: Jane Eyre and Clarissa Dalloway
MODULE 1 (A. Pes, 18 hrs, 3 cfu)
The module introduces students to Charlotte Bronte’s novel, Jane Eyre, considered by critics as a revolutionary text in the context of Victorian women’s writing. Starting from the analysis of the novel, lectures will focus on stylistic and structural features of female autobiography and, at the same time, emphasis will be laid on relevant issues like obedience and resistance in a patriarchal society, the relation with religion, gender roles, classism and social conformity, race discourse and orientalist stereotypes in a colonial context. Different critical approaches through which the novel has been read will also be explored: feminist and gender studies, psychoanalytical reading and postcolonial studies. In addition to this, contemporary re-writings and re-adaptations of the text will be mentioned.
MODULE 1’s programme consists in three parts (see the “BIBLIOGRAPHY” section below):
A. Primary text
B. Readings
Further details on required readings, general information on bibliographical material, and exam method will be given during classes.

MODULE 2 (C. Ragni, 18 hrs, 3 cfu)
The module introduces students to one of the pivotal works of English Modernism: Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway. Starting from the analysis of the short story “Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street” - which constitutes a first draft of the novel - and through the vision of clips taken from Marleen Gorris’s film adaptation (Mrs Dalloway, 1997), the course will focus, among others aspects, on the characterization that Woolf makes of the character of Clarissa Dalloway, caught in the constant search for balance between her inner world and the outer world, between past and present, between life and death. The rewriting published by Michael Cunningham in 1998 (The Hours) will be also mentioned, as well as the homonymous film directed by Stephen Daldry in 2002.
