Programme
Renaissance is the season of the long narrative, the epic-chivalric poem (Boiardo, Ariosto, Tasso), in many ways the direct ancestor of the modern novel; but it is also an incredibly prolific season for the short story, which, starting from Boccaccio's model, acquires different forms, in verse and prose (including many antecedents and sources of Shakespeare). The course will follow the evolution and interaction between these two narrative genres and examine related issues, from the question of the open narrative (the novel, which also originated as a serial story) or closed narrative (novella incorniciata) to the success with the general public.Core Documentation
