Learning objectives

The course, held in English, aims at introducing Students to the English Literature from the 16th century to the Restoration (1660), paying emphasis on some canonical literary texts. Besides, it will offer skills and abilities for the critical analysis of literary texts and their genres. The course objective is to provide a good knowledge of the literature of the period (historical context, texts, genres, literary movements and authors) and to develop in Students a capacity of analysis and argumentative abilities in relation to the various typologies of literary texts set in their literary, historical, and cultural context. At the end of the course, students will be able to: - analyse the examined literary texts setting them in their historical and cultural context; - discuss them in an argumentative way, with due consideration to literary conventions, and by applying a critical, knowledgeable, and aware approach to the specificity of the literary texts; - present the acquired competences in English, and in a coherent and clear way.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The English Literature 3 LLS exam can only be taken after having passed the second year’s exams of English Language and Literature.

Program

The course will focus on the articulation of identity of the protagonists of Shakespearean works in the historical-social and cultural context of the time. Examples of adaptations of the works will be included in the programme.
