General description
Brief survey of the main schools of literary and cultural criticism and of their application to the
analysis of literary and cultural production in the Anglophone world. This course will present a

“classical heritage”, historiography and the canon; the development of the various critical
schools ranging from New Criticism, Russian Formalism, Structuralism and Narratology to PostStructuralism,
Psychoanalysis, Marxist theories, Cultural Materialism, New Historicism,
Feminist Criticism, Gender Studies, and more recent approaches such as Multiculturalism,
Ethnocriticism, Postcolonial Studies, Diaspora and Transnationalism and, finally, Ecocriticism
