Learning objectives

The course, taught in English, aims to provide students with an introduction to British literature from the Renaissance to late Romanticism, focusing on some of the most representative works. The course also aims to introduce the main critical approaches and the main features of literary genres. The overall goal of the course is to provide students with a good level of knowledge of literary history (in terms of historical context, texts, genres, movements and authors) and to develop their critical skills for analysis, argumentation and exposition in English, in relation to various typologies of literary texts in their historical-cultural context. At the end of the course, students will be able to: - analyse the set texts and place them in their respective historical-cultural contexts; - describe the texts in a structured and informed way, taking into account literary conventions and applying an informed critical approach; - discuss literary topics in English in a clear and consistent way.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Students need to have passed English Literature and Culture 1 and English Language 1.

Program

Module 1 (Lisanna Calvi, 8 CFU, 48h)
Laughing Britain: A Journey through Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Comedy.
Three comedies, written between 1675 and 1777, will escort us in a journey through Restoration and eighteenth-century British theatre. This will allow the exploration of contemporary society as represented on stage from the acidly entertaining late seventeenth-century comedy of manners to the gloriously comic eighteenth-century so-called laughing comedy in which wit becomes a lens through which morality and feeling are revisited and genre boundaries are eluded.
Module 2 (Emanuel Stelzer, 1 CFU, 6h)
Books Contain “a Potency of Life”: Guidelines for the History of Literature Part
These lectures aim at guiding the students in their study of the history of English literature from the Renaissance to the second half of the eighteenth century. In no way can the notes taken during class substitute the student’s autonomous study of chapters 2 and 3 of Paul Poplawski’s manual, but these lectures can help identify the most relevant notions and information students need to know about the historical contexts, cultural movements, and main authors they will be asked about at the exam.
Mandatory reading: see BIBLIOGRAPHY, c. Handbook.
Please be advised
Further details on required readings, general information on bibliographical material, and exam method will be provided during classes.
