Programme
The course is intended as a critical introduction to some of the great masterpieces of 19th-century French poetry and the novel, seen as a development or reaction to the Romantic revolution of the early 19th century. The development of French poetry will be analyzed starting from Les Fleurs du mal by Baudelaire, while the history of the novel will be explored through three variations of the "heroic" character in three novels: Rastignac, the conquering hero of Père Goriot by Balzac; Frédéric Moreau, the anti-hero of Sentimental Education by Flaubert; Étienne Lantier, the revolutionary hero of Germinal by Zola.Core Documentation
