ENGLISH LITERATURE 1 (Da F a O)

The title of the course is "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This. Visions, Ghosts, Dreams, Doubles in English Literature". It will deal with some English classics where the fantastical, visionary, dreamlike, supernatural elements play a large role. The course will focus on the satyrical vision in Swift's _Gulliver's Travels_, the hallucinatory vision in Coleridge's _Rime of the Ancient Mariner_, the double in Stevenson's _Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde_, and the vision of memory in Joyce's _The Dead_.

The aim of the course is to teach the major principles and rhetorical and stylistic strategies of literary communication with respect to the genres and periods here examined.
