The 19th-Century French Novel
FIST271 SP

Crosslistings: FRST271

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 nineteenth-century society.

MAJOR READINGS

Madame de Stael, CORINNE
Flaubert, MADAME BOVARY
Zola, GERMINAL
Hugo, NINETY-THREE
Stendhal, THE RED AND THE BLACK
Balzac, LOST ILLUSIONS
Sand, INDIANA
