ITAL 135 SC - The Legacy of the Past: Appreciating History in Contemporary Italian Fiction


A current trend in Italian literature is the memoir or the family saga. In this course, students will read contemporary novels in which narrators recall their own past and revisit their parents’ and ancestors’ experiences. They will not only have the opportunity to learn about Italian history, but because the texts convey a contemporary point of view, they will also explore the past in ways that have been revised and re-appraised. The authors to be read include: Abate, De Carlo, Ginzburg, Loy, Maraini, and Tabucchi.

Prerequisite(s): ITAL 044  or equivalent.
Course Credit: 1.0
