Learning outcomes
Between history and literature: crisis and demise of the Habsburg Empire..
The course aims to:
- explore the complex and most debated relation between history and literature;
- reflect on the various linguistic tools available to the historian in order to recreate the past;
- reflect on the mechanism of the individual and collective memory.
After attending the course and after reading the reference bibliography, the students will be able to:
- recognize the influences that different literary genres have had, between the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, on historical narrative;
- draw a picture of the transformations that occurred in the relation between literary and historical writing;
- identify the social, political, and cultural factors that affected this relation;
- know the most important theories in the field study about individual and collective memory;
- engage in the analysis of a literary text according to a historical perspective;
- Develop the ability to contextualise a literary text.
Program
At the end of the First World War, many historians, but above all novelists, journalists, politicians, soldiers, who had lived in the territories of the Habsburg Empire, described the last years of life of a state that no longer existed. This enormous literary production created a representation of the Habsburg empire that was very successful, but that at same time, transformed its history into a myth. The aim of the course is to understand how and why this happened.
- history and literature; an introduction on the models;
- historical novels and national narratives;
- politics and literature in the Habsburg empire of the late nineteenth century
- the reforms of the second half of the nineteenth century and the search for a "scientific" history
- academic history and popular history in the Habsburg empire between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries;
- Before the Great War: the original forms of myth;
- the Great War tragedy and its story: novels, poems, diaries and memoirs.
- The post-war period and the genesis of the myth.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
