EDUCATIONAL TARGETS
The main target of the course is to give the student a full picture of the literary history and the culture of the selected linguistic area, from 1700 to 1936, with a direct reading of the most known classical, as well as the benefit of some critical, handbook and monographic readings and the start to the bibliographical search. Another target is to give the opportune baggage of methodology and specific terminology, necessary to the analysis of the text.
DESIRED LEARNING RESULTS
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
- analyze a literary text in a critical way, detaining himself on the stylistic and rhetorical aspects.
-to express judgments on the themes treated during the lessons, appraising them in a synchronic and diachronic perspective, as well as comparing them to the rest of the European literary production.
-to practice the bibliographical-critical competences acquired for widening his knowledges to continue the literary studies and/or to use all these competences as a teacher.

Contents

The methodological tools to face the formal analysis and the content analysis of the curricular texts will be offered to the students.
