Languages & Literature

The Medieval Period, or the Middle Ages, occurred between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the European Renaissance. In many ways, these “middle times” separate the ancient from the modern world, and although the Renaissance is traditionally touted as a period of particularly explosive creativity and cultural rebirth, we will discover that art and literature flourished in the Middle Ages as well.

Letteratura latina 2 - L’idea dell’Altro in età imperiale (Federica Web Learning)

Languages & Literature

Nella letteratura latina affiorano costantemente l'idea della identità romana, il rapporto con il diverso, il relazionarsi con popoli altri da sé: basti pensare a Terenzio che nasce in Africa o a Cecilio Stazio, commediografo di origine gallica solo per citarne alcuni. Il problema si accentua in età tardoantica, quel periodo che si fa partire dal III sec. d. C. e che alcuni addirittura anticipano alla fine del II.

Latino: forme e circolazione nella pars Orientis dell’Impero (Federica Web Learning)

Languages & Literature

Se per l’Occidente mancano testimonianze che non siano quelle indirette di trattazioni specifiche come l’Institutio oratoria di Quintiliano, l’Oriente ha restituito una serie di testimoni diretti delle forme dell’insegnamento del latino,tra I a.C. e VI d.C.: favorita fondamentalmente dall’occupazione militare e dai bisogni dell’amministrazione per tutta la prima età imperiale, nelle province eccentriche dell’Impero, la circolazione del latino venne ulteriormente incentivata da una politica che lo identificava con la lingua dell’amministrazione (e del diritto) a partire dal III secolo. Continuo, infatti, è il contatto dei latinofoni con allofoni che, spesso, si misero alla prova con l’apprendimento della lingua di Roma.

Shakespeare: On the Page and in Performance (edX)

Humanities Languages & Literature

An introduction to Shakespeare that combines literary study with theatrical analysis to understand both Shakespeare’s continuing popularity and his greatness. Shakespeare wrote for a popular audience and was immensely successful. Shakespeare is also rightly regarded as one of the greatest playwrights the world has known. This course will try to understand both Shakespeare’s popularity and his greatness by starting from a simple premise: that the fullest appreciation of Shakespeare can be achieved only when literary study is combined with analysis of the plays as theatre.
