Objectives
English and Italian Literature (50% English, 50% Italian) has a strong and distinctive comparative approach and has been specially designed for those who wish to begin or pursue a study of Italian language and literature whilst continuing to study the English tradition as well as exploring their interconnections and interactions. Italian and European Literature allows the study of Italian alongside European language, literature, and culture and is taken in one of three possible variants. Italian components in language, culture, and literature are studied alongside modules in either (a) French language and culture, or (b) German language and culture, or (c) aspects of European literature.
