- Inhalt
- During the mid seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, artists turned to classical texts and form in search of inspiration and creativity. The literature of the period, its drama, poetry as well as prose, sought not only to delight but to instruct its reader by extolling classical virtues such as restraint and order, simplicity, accuracy and logic. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the Neoclassical movement by characterising and contextualising it as well as by analysing key neoclassical texts. In order to do so, the course will first frame Neoclassicism, that is to say, we shall study the movement in relation to its social and historical context, as well as analyse it taking into account the dialogue it establishes with preceding and succeeding movements, for instance, the Renaissance, Romanticism, Realism and others. We shall have a panoramic view into the “origins” and development of Neoclassicism, from both an artistic and literary stand point but also a philosophical one.
The second and larger part of this course will provide an in-depth analysis of Neoclassicist poetry, the prose of, for instance, Defoe and Swift and the multifaceted theatre of the period, with the examples of Comedy of Manners and Sentimental Comedy as prominent genres.
