Cross-listed: Gender & Sexuality Studies This course will examine women as represented in modern Italian literature from Giovanni Verga (1870s) to Franca Rame (1970s).

We will focus on form and genre; the author’s use of language and rhetoric; the political, philosophical, and theological questions posed by the text; women under fascism; representations of women as wives and mothers. Special attention will be on freedom and dignity; love, abortion, and divorce; the struggle for sexual self-determination; etc. Readings include: SibillaAleramo, Anna Banti, Alberto Moravia, DaciaMaraini. The course will develop students’ critical reading skills, understanding of modern and contemporary Italian culture, and knowledge of issues of gender.  Prerequisites: two years of Italian or equivalent.
