NCE 313 - Revising Italy - Travel Writing in the Italian Tradition

4 Hour(s)
In this course, students will spend the semester exploring readings in the tradition of the Italian travel narrative, including classic works by authors such as Twain and James, as well as more contemporary examples. Students will work to practice their own skills in writing travel essays, and at the completion of the semester-study portion of the course, we will travel to Italy for approximately three weeks and explore several distinct regions of the country (city, country and sea) and reflect on how our experiences there have been shaped by the major authors we have read during the semester. At the completion of the off-campus portion of the course, students will produce their own major travel essay.
