Course content
The program familiarizes students with the nuances of artistic phenomena at the core of literary developments in Western Europe during the Renaissance and the 17th and 18th centuries. This includes exploring literature from the Baroque, Classicism, and Enlightenment periods, alongside an examination of the cultural-historical, social, and artistic-aesthetic factors influencing these processes. The program establishes theoretical and methodological connections with the history of Western European literature, and to some extent, with literary studies and translation studies. The objectives include deepening the skills of literary and critical analysis developed in previous semesters, as well as expanding the ability to interpret artistic texts from the specified period. Additionally, it aims to cultivate the application of cultural and aesthetic potential derived from the acquired body of knowledge, skills, and abilities in future professional philological activities and creative pursuits.
