This interactive study and revision aid has been designed and developed for 2nd and final year undergraduates reading Italian Literature and Language and has been used in the Language Lab at the University of Kent. However, it can be used by anyone studying the text of Six Characters in Search of an Author in Italian or English.

Before using this program it is important to have read both the Preface and the text.

There are 5 modules, as described below, and each module has several pages. The modules can be studied in any order.

For each module there is a quiz for you to complete. Try completing this before studying the module and then have another attempt when you have completed the module and see if you can improve on your score.

Each module contains a selection of videos from You Tube.

With thanks to Hot Potatoes for their software which enabled me to include the quizzes.
