Cultural and Literary Mo(ve)ments: A Survey of 19th- and 20th-Century France
FREN 224
Fall 2016
| Section:
01
|
The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with movements such as romanticism, realism, surrealism, and the Nouveau Roman, to name a few. Some of these movements stem directly from the political context, when others seem to have grown almost organically. Though the course will primarily rely on literary texts, it will also examine the PASSERELLES between literature, music, and painting. |
