Learning objectives

The module aims at offering an overview of English Literature, including drama, by placing it in the broader context of European literature and paying special attention to some major texts. At the same time, it wishes to present the students with the basics of textual and genre analysis; it will also foster the improvement of comprehension and analytical abilities with regard to narrative, poetic, and/or dramatic texts in English which will be acquired by foregrounding the investigation of genres and styles not only by critically looking at the literary, rhetorical, historical, and cultural tradition but also at its social and communicative aspects. Specific methodological approaches, aimed at the development of appropriate critical and argumentative skills, will also be adopted. On successful completion of the module, students will be able to produce a coherent and detailed interpretation of literary and/or dramatic texts in English and provide a plausible critical interpretation in a register and style that serve the context and intention.

Prerequisites and basic notions

A sufficient competence in English is advisable in order for students to comprehend primary texts and scholarly work in the discipline in English.

Program

“Style, not sincerity is the vital thing”: from Wilde to film.
Moving from a discussion of the notion of adaptation, the module aims at investigating two of Oscar Wilde’s most famous society comedies and two film versions produced between the 1920s and the new Millennium. If Wilde’s theatre, acidly witty with regard to Victorian hypocrisy, hinges on linguistic and rhetorical funambulism while treating "trivial things of life seriously, and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality”, the two films translate on screen the plays’ dialogic ebullience through different strategies that allow us to catch a glimpse at two distant but equally glamourous epochs of the history of cinema.
