French 4061 is an upper-level course organized around creative writing through reading. It is designed to enhance your creative use of the language and to contribute to your understanding of literature through the study of a range of styles and genres in the French tradition. Writing assignments based on our readings will help solidify your language skills in comprehension and composition, build your vocabulary, and hone your analytical ability. We will read short stories, essays, fables, epistolary texts, poetry, journalism, novellas, and excerpts from novels, and we will replicate these genres and styles through creative writing assignments based on imitation or on the appropriation of strategies and procedures deployed in the production of these texts. We will also use the traditional French analytical format of the “explication du texte” to examine in detail the composition and nuances of several works we read.
