Cultural Mo(uve)ments from the 19th to 21st Centuries
FREN 224
Spring 2023
| 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, while 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. |
