- The second year of French literature provides for the in-depth and critical study of French literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, of the main authors as well as of the artistic and philosophical culture of this historical period. 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:
knowledge of the main authors, their works and the historical context;
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 French culture of the period under consideration;
knowledge of the subjects of literary communication (author, publisher, translator) and the history of the text studied over time (translations and luck).
The main skills that provide the ability to apply the knowledge acquired will be:
knowing how to locate 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 advance personal critical reflections. - Prerequisites
- In order to understand and be able to independently use the knowledge and tools of historical and literary analysis required by the teaching, the student must have a good linguistic-literary knowledge and a good level of French that allows to understand the texts of the program. The 16th century French language presents lexical and syntactic difficulties that will be addressed during the lessons. Non-attending students will have to resort to the studies on moyen français (grammars and vocabularies) indicated in the critical bibliography.

frontal lectures in the classroom, supported, if necessary, by multimedia tools.
