Italian 311 - Sorelle di penna/Sisters inWriting

Institution:

Mount Holyoke College

Subject:

Description:

During the course of the nineteenth century women were finally able to conquer a place in the realm of letters and culture. Their Renaissance sisters having been almost completely forgotten, women writers in the new kingdom of Italy had no models to follow and had to start anew. This course will explore the birth and development of women writing in nineteenth and twentieth century Italy with an eye to the Renaissance. We will read and discuss works by, among others, Aleramo, Serao, Benedetta, Rosselli, Ginzburg, Morante, Banti. Special attention will be paid to the early twentieth century, to Futurist women, and to the condition of women in Fascist Italy. Meets Humanities I-A requirement O. Frau 4 credits
