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 course aims to provide an overview of the so-called Anglo-Norman literature (i.e. the literature written in French that flourished in England after the Norman invasion of 1066). The first part of the course will provide historical, literary and linguistic information about the development and progressive decadence of this literature, which will allow to frame the texts that are its product in their complex cultural scenario. insular. In the second part of the course will take into consideration (by the translation and the analysis of selected passages), some of the most representative works of Anglo-Norman literature, belonging to different genres such as historiographical (Gaimar, Wace), hagiography ( San Brendano) and theatrical (Jeu d'Adam).
