FRE 350 - Romanticism

Institution:

Assumption University

Subject:

Description:

In this course students will discover one of the most influential movements in French literature: Romanticism. Marketing a reaction against the Classicism of the previous two centuries, this movement dominated the French literary scene in the first half of the 19th century. The course will begin by tracing the origins of Romanticism in certain works of the late 18th century, before embarking on the study of representative Romantic texts in all three literary genres: poetry, prose and theater. In addition, we will look at Romantic characteristics in the art and music of the period. Howe/ Three credits
