Letteratura dell'Ottocento

Letteratura dell'Ottocento
Course members will study the period that runs from the Romantic era to the first signs of modernism. We will study authors of this period such as Manzoni, Leopardi, and Pellico, who all work in the shadow of the gathering movement toward unification of Italy (the Risorgimento); the scapigliati, who represent the reaction against Romanticism; and the veristi, Capuana and Verga, who are influenced by French realism. The course is intended for seniors who have spent at least one semester in Italy.
