The course takes part of the core educational activities of the Master's Degree programme in Italian Philology and Literature, as a 6 ECTS course.
This course offers a solid specialised training in the study of Italian poetry, by an approach to some important texts, that will be studied by many points of view, such as exegetical, stylistical, prosodical, rhetorical, critical methods. At the end of the course, students will know the chief tools for a metrical and stylistical lecture of poetical texts, that they could apply to any other Italian poetical text.
To be admitted to this course students must possess a good knowledge of Italian Language and of the chief notions of Prosody, Rhetorics and Stylistics.
Title: "Metrics and style of Eugenio Montale's poems".
Starting from some of Montale's texts, taken from his main poetic collections, we will analyze its metric characteristics and deepen the stylistic procedures implemented by the poet, with particular reference to the linguistic, syntactical, lexical, rhetorical, and intertextual uses.
