This course focuses on Narrative
Theory and follows the development through the centuries of
three important genres in the Italian literary tradition: the
novella, the fairy-tale and the short story.
We will approach tales of love, lust and amorous conflict both
from a formal and theoretical perspective and analyze the connections
between literature, politics, anthropology and history.Among
others, we will read novelle by authors such as Boccaccio, Machiavelli,
Basile, Pirandello, Calvino and Dacia Maraini.
