Content
Students will discover the literary and artistic masterpieces of the late 19th century. This period was marked in the peninsula by the development of a national consciousness. This was first transformed into a movement for liberation and 'resurrection', the Risorgimento, and came to completion with unification (1861). The main authors to be covered are Metastasio, Carducci, Leopardi, Manzoni, Verga, Boito. Students will learn about the most important political, artistic and philosophical movements of the period, as well as its most important events.
In the practical sessions, students will read the literary texts that marked the nineteenth century in both the literary field and in political life. As part of this reading, students will make use of the theoretical knowledge of literary analysis acquired in the preceding years.
In the tutorial sessions, students will deepen their knowledge of grammar, notably pronominal systems, passive constructions and problems of agreement.
