Learning outcomes

The course “THE ENLIGHTENMENT” will show how literature, and the novel, in particular, deal 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 analyze how the aesthetic, cultural, economic, philosophical and scientific changes of this sophisticated age, rich in dramatic historical events, will permeate the literary field.
The course is in English.
