The course will attempt to acquaint the student with the broad range of works--poetry, fiction, theatre, etc.--from the Middle Ages to the present, whose didactic intent-- sometimes primary, sometimes a thin pretext for artistic expression--serves as a unifying theme. Works studied will be as diverse as medieval Aesopica and courtesy-books on the one hand and dramatic Proverbes of Musset on the other. Among the other authors studied will be La Fontaine, Voltaire, Vigny, Dumas fils, and Gide.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
