Learning outcomes

Instruction in Romance Philology, through reading and analysing literary texts in various romance languages, will allow students to acquire and develop awareness and knowledge in the areas of Philology, Historical Linguistics, and Literary Studies. Close reading and interpretation of literary texts, as well as important elements of critical, historical and cultural judgement, will also be improved. By the end of the course, students should demonstrate an ability to handle independently the different levels of analysis that will be applied to the texts studied as part of the syllabus. Students should furthermore demonstrate an awareness of the terminology of the discipline and present their ideas in the appropriate linguistic style.

Program

The myth of Tristan form the Middle Ages to Modernity. The course aims to provide the main historical-literary coordinates on the birth and development of the medieval myth of Tristan. Once the ecdotic and historical problems related to the Tristanian tradition have been defined and analyzed, we will focus on the analysis, reading and translation of some passages taken from two more ancient ancient French texts: Béroul's "Roman de Tristan" , Thomas's "Roman de Tristan", Bern and Oxford's "Folies Tristan", Maria of France's "Lai du Chevrefoil", up to "Roman de Tristan en prose" and his Italian fortune. The last part of the course will be dedicated to the European fortune of the myth of Tristan and its modern reinterpretations.
