Class Description:: Relationships among the visual arts, literature, science, philosophy, and politics in Europe, especially Italy and France, from about 1300-1600. Works of artists, writers, and intellectuals (e.g., Michelangelo Buonarotti, Niccolo Machiavelli, Francois Rabelais, Michel de Montaigne), different artistic and literary forms (e.g., portrait, sonnet, essay), and broad thematic issues, including the individual, antiquity, the state, and discovery. Team taught by an art historian, an historian, and a specialist in early French and Italian literature, this course was selected by the CLA Dean's Office as an "incubator" course; that is, it will try out a new model for instruction in which professors from three different departments will collaborate in offering a truly interdisciplinary approach to the Renaissance. The three professors will alternate in giving lectures, and each will lead one of the three discussion sections. This will provide students with a broader approach to a major topic in the Humanities than would otherwise be possible, blending art, literature, and history. The course will be offered entirely in English. Students who wish to count it toward a major in either French or Italian may do so, however, by arrangement with Prof. Susan Noakes. Such students will do readings and writing in the language of the major to which credit is to be applied and will have regular discussion groups conducted in the language of the major.
