Expanded Course Description
| This course is an introduction to French literature and society of the 17th and 18th centuries through the study of texts representative of the main genres and authors of the period. The course focuses on understanding the evolution from absolute monarchy to the French Revolution through the quest for liberties. The first half of the course focuses on Corneille, Molière and Racine during “le Grand siècle” (1600-1700), while the second half explores the Age of Enlightenment or “le siècle des philosophes” (1700-1789) with Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot. We will analyze what ideas during this period became a source of founding ideals in the US. As we read plays (tragedy and comedy), letters, a philosophical tale, encyclopedic articles, a “rêverie,” and an anthem, we will examine the advantages of each genre to capture an audience and circumvent censorship. We will reflect on how questions of power and its impact on liberties remain relevant today. The focused reading, the written and oral work will enable you to improve your oral and written proficiency in French. Course conducted in French. |
