The course also aims to provide students with the theoretical and methodological tools necessary for the literary and linguistic analysis of the texts examined. The main knowledge acquired therefore concerns:
the knowledge of the main authors, of their works and of the historical context;
the knowledge of the distinctive traits of different literary genres, of poetic forms;
knowledge of the role of ancient literature and Italian culture in the formation of the French culture of the period;
the knowledge of the subjects of literary communication (author, editor, translator) and the history of the text studied over time (translations and circulation of the text).The main skills that provide the ability to apply the knowledge acquired will be:
knowing how to situate an author and his work over time;
knowing how to read, translate, analyze and comment on the texts studied;
know how to use the critical readings proposed by the program and make personal critical considerations. - Prerequisites
