The course is included in the interdisciplinary activities of the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Humanities and aims to read critically Dante's Commedia, providing also linguistic, metrical and rhetorical notions for reading medieval vernacular texts.
By the end of the cours students are expected to be able to:
- read critically and carefully Dante's Divine Comedy, linking the sacred poem to other Italian, Romance and Classical texts;
- use precisely critical, metrical, philological, rhetorical instruments to face a Medieval poetical text;
- reinforce the awareness of the plurality of the critical approaches to the text of the Divine Comedy.
Foreigners attending this course are expected to be fluent in Italian and to have a general knowledge of the Italian literature.
