L-LIN/10 - ENGLISH LITERATURE
Period
I semestre (Lingue e letterature straniere) dal Sep 28, 2020 al Jan 9, 2021.
Learning outcomes
The module, taught in English, is meant to guide the students through a critical approach to the English Literature of the period going from the Restoration to late Romanticism, especially in relation to a representative range of texts of the canon. Besides, it aims at getting the students familiar with fundamental tools necessary for text analysis and genre criticism. Its overall gaol is to provide the students with a good knowledge of the British literature of the set literary period (its historical context, its texts, genres, movements/authors) and of helping them develop skills for analysis, argumentation and exposition in English, in relation to various typologies of literary texts in their historical-cultural context. At the end of the module, students will be able to: -analyze the literary texts set in the syllabus in their historical-cultural contexts; -argumentatively discuss them by taking into account literary conventions and by applying an informed critical approach that is aware of the literary nature of the text; -demonstrate the acquired knowledge and skills, in English and in a clear and consistent way.
Program
MAPPING THE GOTHIC
The course illustrates the birth and the development of the gothic novel in English literature with a specific focus on the articulation of individual identity in the most representative texts of this genre. A part of the course will be devoted to a digital humanities approach to the genre through digital literary mapping and reflections on hypertexts.
