FR 350 - Survey of Literature I

A general view of the main currents of French literature from the Middle Ages to the present. In this course students read, analyze, and write about representative canonical works, building a familiarity with French literary genres and traditions that will enable them to more easily access and better understand all French literary production, but also better value the role literature and literary criticism play in the development of ideas and human progress in general. Survey I covers the Middle Ages through the 18th century and requires three contact hours with the professor and one contact hour of conversation with a Native Speaker each week. Conducted in French.

Note: Meets the Core Outcomes for Aesthetic and Creative Engagement.
