Requirements:

Students will learn how to make best use of the basic principles of philological training received during their first degree (‘laurea triennale’). It is assumed that students will have a good basic knowledge of the biography of the four main authors – Vincenzo Monti, Ugo Foscolo, Alessandro Manzoni, Giacomo Leopardi – and the chronology of their main works.

Learning objectives

This module aims to illustrate the nature of classically-inspired, late-18th/early-19th century Italian poetry through the analysis of a number of poetical texts, chiefly lyrical, of paramount importance. Special attention will be devoted to the variant readings of selected texts by Vincenzo Monti, Ugo Foscolo, Alessandro Manzoni and Giacomo Leopardi to highlight the development and refinement of their poetical language in relation to both shared and individual expressive. A number of ancillay texts will also be addressed to facilitate comprehension of the wider cultural context.

Students will approach neoclassical language from the angle of shared features affecting the authors’ 'langue' (and related demands of different metres and themes) and the individual solutions typical of each author’s 'parole', with special attention to the variant readings highlighting their methods of composition.

The editions of Bertoldi (Parini, Odi; Monti, Poesie; Manzoni, Poesie) and Straccali (Leopardi, Canti) as indicated in the Bibliography are available in pdf format from: www.archive.org
