The 19th-Century French Novel
FIST 271 SP
Crosslistings:
FRST 271

In this course we will follow the transformation of a genre, from the effusive Romantic novel to the sometimes brutal chronicles created by proponents of the Realist and Naturalist movements. At issue in this class is how stylistic concerns echo (or contradict?) evolving attitudes regarding the complexities and inequities of French 19th-century society.
