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.
