ルネサンス研究II
Italian Renaissance Literature: Angelo Poliziano, Fabula di Orfeo
This course is a reading-based literature course dedicated to Angelo (Agnolo) Poliziano’s Fabula di Orfeo. It is designed for advanced students with a good command of the Italian language.
Angelo Poliziano (1454–1494) was a central figure of Florentine Humanism connected to the Medici court. Poet, scholar, and teacher of Latin and Greek, he played a key role in Renaissance culture by combining the study of classical authors with new forms of writing in the Italian vernacular. The Fabula di Orfeo, composed in the second half of the fifteenth century for a festive theatrical performance, is a short but highly influential work.
The course focuses on the reading and analysis of the Orfeo in Italian. Attention is given to vocabulary, metrical structure, and literary form, as well as to the reworking of the classical myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The work is examined in relation to Renaissance court culture and to the development of early modern theatre, where poetry, music, and performance are closely connected.

授業の方法
This course is conducted as a guided reading seminar. Classes are based on close reading of the Italian text, with detailed explanation of vocabulary, syntax, and metrical structure.
The instructor provides historical, literary, and cultural background related to Humanism, Renaissance court culture, and the theatrical context of the Fabula di Orfeo. Each lesson includes reading of selected passages, commentary, and discussion.
Students are encouraged to participate actively in class discussions. In the second half of the semester, students may be asked to give a short oral presentation based on the text or on a related topic. The pace and focus of the course may be adjusted according to the level and needs of the class.
成績評価方法
Student performance is evaluated through continuous assessment during the semester. Evaluation is based on regular attendance, active participation in class discussions, and oral performance.
Attendance and participation are essential and will be taken into account in the final grade. In the second half of the semester, students will be required to give a short oral presentation (approximately 20 minutes). Additional evaluation may include brief oral checks of reading comprehension.
The final grade is determined by an overall assessment of the student’s engagement, preparation, and progress throughout the course.
履修上の注意
Students are expected to read the assigned passages of the Fabula di Orfeo in advance. Pre-class preparation includes careful reading of the Italian text and basic vocabulary review.
After each class, students are encouraged to reread the passages discussed in class and review notes, vocabulary, and explanations provided during the lesson. Regular review is important for understanding the text’s structure and meaning.
Students should make use of dictionaries and reference materials when necessary. Continuous preparation and review are more effective than last-minute study.
