Learning objectives

The students are requested to recognize peculiar literary-historical conditions within which Svevo worked. Then, mostly, they are requested to reach on the texts of Svevo (conducted by the teacher) competence and judgment skills which is assumed the Master’s level students should accomplish.

Prerequisites

Those who throughout their Bachelor’s studies haven’t obtained a specific preparation in Contemporary Italian Literature, particularly concerning the Nineteenth and Twentieth century, will have to fill this gap on their own, possibly using a good and updated secondary school anthology.

Course unit content

Italian Modernism inside European Modernism

The course, by dealing with some renowned works of fiction, aims to tackle one of the most debated critical issues of the present: the existence of an Italian modernism, and its critical definition. Therewith, some connected questions are to be raised: the legacy (and the contours) of Verismo and Decadentismo, as well as the liaisons between Italian Modernism and the culture of European Modernism.
