French [420] - Reviewing the Nineteenth-Century Classics: From Novel to Film

Institution:

Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

Selected "classic" 19th-century novels and the films they have inspired. While examining the place these novels occupy in the French cultural record, our perspective will also be comparative as we examine the modalities of each medium in terms of techniques and structures. How did these fictions represent French society and history, and how, in turn, does cinema translate these 19th-century novels? Authors may include works by Balzac, Hugo, Flaubert and Zola. Taught in French. Prerequisite, one 300-level course or consent of instructor. Maximum enrollment, 16.
