Learning outcomes

Il corso si propone di introdurre lo studente allo studio della letteratura italiana moderna e contemporanea, con particolare attenzione all'esperienza di letterati che, nel corso del Novecento, si sono impegnati in campo giornalistico o editoriale. Attraverso lo studio di una realtà esemplare, lo studente, alla fine del corso, dovrà dimostrare di conoscere i rapporti che legano letteratura, editoria e giornalismo, nonché essere in grado di leggere e analizzare testi di varia natura, situandoli criticamente nella storia della letteratura italiana.
