This first-year course will provide a historical and cultural overview of English literature through contextualization and analysis of some canonical texts within the genres of poetry, drama, and fiction. Starting from the illusionary island of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, through the satirical world of Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” and other writings, the vision of Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan”, to the (in)sanity of Woolf’s “Mrs Dalloway”, the course means to illustrate the nature of the literary text and to focus on the polisemy and epistemological import of these literary representations by exploring the contexts, contents and formal strategies of the selected literary works.
All the volumes and articles indicated below (primary and secondary sources) are compulsory reading and will be discussed during the final exam.
Students should buy the following editions of the texts and are expected to read them before the beginning of the course.
1. William Shakespeare, “The Tempest/La tempesta”, introduzione e traduzione di Alessandro Serpieri, note di Clara Mucci, con testo a fronte, Marsilio, Venezia, 2006, ISBN: 9788831789837.
2. Jonathan Swift, “A Modest Proposal/Una modesta proposta”, a cura di Luciana Pirè, Marsilio, Venezia, 2019, ISBN: 9788831722537; other satirical writings added as learning materials in Moodle: “An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity”; “The Tatler” Number 5 (from Tuesday Jan. 23, to Saturday Jan. 27, 1710).
3. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “Kubla Khan”, in “I poemi demoniaci”, a cura di Marcello Pagnini, con testo a fronte, Giunti, Firenze, 1996, ISBN: 9788809208438.
4. Virginia Woolf, “Mrs Dalloway/La signora Dalloway”, a cura e traduzione di Marisa Sestito con testo a fronte, Marsilio, Venezia, 2012, ISBN: 9788831711456. [English edition: “Mrs Dalloway”, Penguin Modern Classics, edited by S. McNichol with an Introduction by E. Showalter.]

This first-year course will provide a historical and cultural overview of English literature through contextualization and analysis of some canonical texts within the genres of poetry, drama, and fiction. Starting from the illusionary island of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, through the satirical world of Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” and other writings, the vision of Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan”, to the (in)sanity of Woolf’s “Mrs Dalloway”, the course means to illustrate the nature of the literary text and to focus on the polisemy and epistemological import of these literary representations by exploring the contexts, contents and formal strategies of the selected literary works.
All the volumes and articles indicated below (primary and secondary sources) are compulsory reading and will be discussed during the final exam.
Students should buy the following editions of the texts and are expected to read them before the beginning of the course.
1. William Shakespeare, “The Tempest/La tempesta”, introduzione e traduzione di Alessandro Serpieri, note di Clara Mucci, con testo a fronte, Marsilio, Venezia, 2006, ISBN: 9788831789837.
2. Jonathan Swift, “A Modest Proposal/Una modesta proposta”, a cura di Luciana Pirè, Marsilio, Venezia, 2019, ISBN: 9788831722537; other satirical writings added as learning materials in Moodle: “An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity”; “The Tatler” Number 5 (from Tuesday Jan. 23, to Saturday Jan. 27, 1710).
3. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “Kubla Khan”, in “I poemi demoniaci”, a cura di Marcello Pagnini, con testo a fronte, Giunti, Firenze, 1996, ISBN: 9788809208438.
4. Virginia Woolf, “Mrs Dalloway/La signora Dalloway”, a cura e traduzione di Marisa Sestito con testo a fronte, Marsilio, Venezia, 2012, ISBN: 9788831711456. [English edition: “Mrs Dalloway”, Penguin Modern Classics, edited by S. McNichol with an Introduction by E. Showalter.]
