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
“Serio Ludere: British Comedy, 1890-1990”.
This course, dedicated to British drama, will focus on three plays written and performed between the late 19th century and the close of the 20th century. By reading Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), Noël Coward’s Hay Fever (1925) and Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia (1993), the course will highlight the ways in which wit, irony and learned references - the hallmarks of a specifically British type of comedy - allow theatre not only to question and reflect on the hypocrisy of contemporary society, but also to deal with issues such as the conflict between head and heart with apparent levity.
The programme consists in three parts (see the “BIBLIOGRAPHY” section below): A. Primary texts; B. and B1. Readings; and C. Literature Textbook
Further details on required readings, general information on bibliographical material, and exam method will be given during classes.
