Описание: Beginner's Guide to Italian Literature Part 1/2 Virgil to Contrasto

Discover the origins of Latin literature and medieval poetry in this exploration of Virgil (70 BC–19 BC), one of ancient Rome’s greatest poets and author of the Eclogues, Georgics, and the epic Aeneid, a masterpiece that influenced Dante’s Divine Comedy. This video (Part 1 of our series on Medieval Latin Literature) traces the preservation of Roman thought by Cassiodorus and Boethius, the cultural revival under Theodoric in Ravenna, and the rise of early Italian literary traditions. Learn how Occitan troubadours, the Sicilian School, and the Dolce Stil Novo shaped poetry, paving the way for Dante, Petrarch, and later European writers. From Roman epics to medieval universities in Bologna, Padua, and Naples, and from chivalric romances to religious poetry by Francis of Assisi and Jacopone da Todi, witness how classical and medieval traditions connected to inspire the Renaissance and beyond.
