In the context of the theoretic and critical investigation of French literary studies provided in the two-year master’s degree program, this course aims at developing both historical and methodological competences.
The course aims to present the French literature from the 16thto the 21st century through an in-depth critical analysis of a theme which will be studied in its evolution from the ancient times until contemporary French literature. Moreover, the professor intends to provide students with the theoretical and methodological tools for the literary and linguistic analysis of the proposed texts. The lessons will be held in French, with the purpos of improving the students’ linguistic level as well. The courses will consist in lectures and seminars. Remedial courses will be organised as well.
At the end of the course, students shall therefore acquire overall knowledge of the history of French literature (main literary movements, authors and works), along with critical competences and the capacity of applying them to the comparative analysis of texts belonging to different literary genres (poetry, narrative prose, essay, and theatre). Moreover, they will be expected to be able to present the topics of the course in French.
