Learning outcomes

The course, held in English, aims at introducing the students to English literature (from the Victorian to the contemporary period), with specific reference to a selection of canonical texts, and at presenting methodological approaches for the analysis of literary texts and genres. The course aims at providing a good knowledge of British literature (articulated in historical context, texts, genres, literary trends and authors) and the skills for a critical analysis and argumentation on different kinds of texts in their historical and cultural context. At the end of the course, students will be able to: -Analyse the literary texts of the programme in their historical and cultural context; - Apply an aware critical approach to literary texts and present an argumentation which shows knowledge of literary conventions -Express the acquired literary and critical competence in English clearly and coherently.

Program

The aim of the course is to provide a critical-methodological introduction to the study of English literature and culture during the 19th, 20th and 21st century with a specific focus on female writing and the relevance and the persistence in permutated forms of the image of the “madwoman in the attic.”
In line with the specificity of the curriculum, part of the course will be devoted to graphic narratives and to a digital humanities approach (digital literary mapping).
