ITAL 30083 La Novella Italiana: Topics in the Italian Short Story
Prerequisites: ITAL 30053. This course examines the genre of the novella, the Italian short story. In this course, we will explore the development of the genre within a specific time period (for example: Medieval-Renaissance, Baroque-early 19th Century, or mid-19th Century-present) and socio-cultural backdrop of the Italian literary scene of that period. This course fulfills the (WEM) writing emphasis core requirement, as well as the (LT) literary traditions core requirement; thus, requirements include several short papers and a longer research paper in the field of Italian literature. This course counts toward the minor in Italian. This course is taught entirely in Italian.
