Umberto Eco was one of the most prolific and flamboyant authors of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Trained as a medievalist, he became one of the central figures in literary theory as well as a best-selling novelist, essayist, and public intellectual. We will explore his long career as both narratologist and narrator and its foundations in intellectual history. Works will include Il nome della rosa, Il pendolo di Foucault, Opera aperta, and The Limits of Interpretation.
