AN EXPERIMENT IN CROSSING TOPICS AND AUTHORS
AUTHOPICS
by The RuminAuthors Brooderhood
End of the year class project - based on the Authopics paper completed by the students from the 4^A class at the 'Madonna della Neve' Liceo Linguistico all through the year, pandemic included. The word stands for 'authors and topics'. What are the main topics common to most of the writers we have studied? How did different writers at different times deal with these topics? All of this and more is Authopics.
"In this site we offer a problem for every solution and a question for every answer you think you have. Or so we hope.
This page features a list of authors we have studied. Click on their pictures to be redirected to the authors' short biographies. It also includes a direct link to a timeline, if you like to think about time and Literature in a linear chronological order. Which is ok. Bit boring, but ok.
The other pages offer the unique viewpoint of the students on eight main topics treated in class. Do not look for uniformity there: each group has worked at their page and has come up with unique projects and products. If you crave for uniformity, check elsewhere."
Enjoy!
You'll find a poll at the bottom of this page. Please, let us know what you think, thank you.
