The purpose of this seminar is to discuss specific modes of
literary criticism and theoretical discourse and their
application to a number of selected texts. Topics and works
to be examined will vary each year. The organizing topic in
the Fall 1998, "The Mirror in the Text," focuses on
questions of repetition (thematic, rhetorical, structural)
in French texts. The course examines how symmetry relates
to form, function, and meaning in French literature.
