  • FREN 224: Versailles and the Age of Louis XIV

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Bilis Louis XIV sought to present his royal court at Versailles as the ultimate in monarchical splendor and power. Yet writers who frequented the court focus on its dangerous intrigues, moral corruption and petty rivalries. The course will explore this discrepancy through close study of official and unofficial productions of the court. Royal paintings, medallions, architecture, ceremonies and official historiography all fore-ground the Sun King's glory; novels, memoirs, letters and moral treatises seem to undo the very notions of courtly magnificence put for-ward by the monarchy. Both elements are crucial to understanding the social, political, religious and artistic practices that defined the court. Recent films and historical works on Versailles will help us evaluate its legacy for contemporary French culture. Prerequisite: At least one unit of 206, 207, 208, 209 or above, an SAT II score of 690-800, an AP score of 5, or an equivalent departmental placement score.
