Lynchburg College

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: French 202 or equivalent for French majors and minors or **no prerequisite but simply consent of instructor for those taking this course as an elective. This broad introduction to French culture and civilization focuses on the significant historical events, political movements, philosophic schools and social phenomena which contributed to the formation of France and French culture. Through a careful analysis of geographic, economic, cultural and political phenomena, the evolution of the French state and its people from the beginnings of Celtic tribal culture to the dominant intellectual, artistic, political and culture nation of the Enlightenment period of the 18th century will be studied. Please note that any term in which there are non French majors and minors enrolled in this course it would be taught in English (to attract a broader target public). In this case only French majors, minors and specialists (and those who so desire) would perform all their written work in French.
