Expanded Course Description
| This course focuses both on exceptional authors (e.g., Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machiavelli) and representative figures of the first centuries of Italian literature. Readings address earthly and spiritual life, comedy and tragedy, sacred and profane love, the individual and the city, beauty and horror. Many courses focus on the differences between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; this course also explores the continuities between them. Texts are read in modern Italian (with facing-page original texts where possible), both to illuminate both the periods in question and to hone students¿ ability to read and discuss literary and historical texts in a foreign language. The course incorporates video adaptations of medieval and Renaissance works, as well as music and art from the periods: manuscripts, paintings, sculpture. Naturally, this course also focuses on Italian language skills and critical thinking: reading, vocabulary, verb tenses, writing short essays, and techniques of textual analysis.
Prerequisite: Two years of college Italian or equivalent. All reading, discussion, writing and exercises are in modern Italian.
