(syllabus)
This year we will study the treatment of the figure of description in the novel of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The course will ideally be divided into three parts : 1. history of the rhetorical category of description and notions close to it (enargeia, hypotyposis) starting from the Greek-Latin theory; 2. main features of 17th century literature and especially of the novel; 3. commented reading of numerous "descriptive" extracts from novels of the Baroque age.
