Università Roma Tre

The presence of imaginary places is an almost constant feature of literary works, especially narrative ones. But there are also many works that are based on a real imaginary geography: an articulated universe refounded or completely invented by the author who sets his narrative there. The course aims to investigate this dimension in different authors and genres, from Dante to Italo Calvino, from fairy tales to children's literature, in a path that goes from its origins to the present day.
