ITALIAN DIALECT LITERATURE

The module corresponds to the need to study in depth aspects of literary history pertinent to the period under consideration, and with particular attention to the seventeenth century, an era usually little examined in pre-university training curricula.

The students will have the opportunity to deal with texts, genres, problems and issues of particular relevance to relevant aspects of Italian literature of the centuries taken into consideration. They will thus be able to learn about less visible aspects of literary development, comparing themselves with works variously posed in terms of expression and style.

Minimal experience of literary language in its evolution from its origins to modernity.

The module aims to study and analyse the satirical genre in the chronological period between the end of the sixteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century, with excursions from literature in the original language to that in dialect.
