It comprises four different fields of study: Philology, Italian Studies, Western European Literatures, Linguistics, and covers the following subject areas: Romance and Italian Philology and Linguistics, Italian Literature, European and American Languages and Literatures (Catalan, English, French, German, Spanish), Literary Criticism and Comparative Literature, Historical and General Linguistics. At the University of Naples Federico II, each of these wide fields of study has a long and prestigious history, recognised both nationally and internationally, which goes back, as far as the modern period is concerned, to the second half of the nineteenth century. Major scholars who have taught Philology, Linguistics and Literature here include Francesco De Sanctis, Luigi Settembrini, Francesco D’Ovidio, Giacomo Lignano, Michele Kerbaker, Francesco Torraca, Ezio Levi D’Ancona, Giuseppe Toffanin, Salvatore Battaglia, Elio Chinol, Giovanni Alessio, Alberto Cento, Mario Di Pinto, as well as many others who are still active today. In more recent years, this tradition has been kept up by younger generations of scholars and at the present time the Department has close ties for research purposes with major universities both in Europe and world wide. Over the past few decades the PhD course in Modern Philology has awarded the title of PhD to many young researchers, many of whom are now working in universities or in academic institutions both in Italy and abroad, while others have found suitable forms of employment in other areas. The PhD course is part of the Doctoral School in Classical, Philological and Literary Sciences. The PhD course’s teaching programme coincides with the courses and lecture and seminar cycles organised on a yearly basis by the Department of Modern Philology and aimed specifically at PhD students. Please check the Bulletin Board for a list of activities and the Archive of events page for those that have already taken place, as well as the syllabus of the scheduled courses and seminars in the PhD School pages.
