FRENCH 822-4
go
The aim of this course is to provide a framework for students who wish to
study French literature within its sociocultural context. The course will
place less emphasis on detailed textual analysis, and will enable the
students to situate the literary text in its historical, social and cultural
background by tracing contemporary developments In history, literature,
and the arts. Historical, esthetic and philosophical trends will be
analyzed in terms of their impact on or parallelism with a major French
literary text, with special emphasis being placed on the novel.
a)
Examination of different approaches to the main theme.
b)
Application of these theoretical approaches to a specific period in
French literature, for example the Enlightenment.
Evaluation
?

The evaluation of students work will be based on in-class oral reports on
