Where FREN-2482 counts

Counts toward 4 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • FREN 4-YEAR BA IN FRENCH STUDIES (LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE/LINGUISTICS COMBINATION STREAM)

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course examines the development of nineteenth-century poetry and drama. The evolution of theatre from the drame romantique to the théâtre fin-de-siècle will be studied through selected works of such authors as Hugo, Musset, and Rostand. Poetry will include a selection from the romantic, parnassian, and symbolist schools (e.g. Desbordes-Valmore, Gautier, Baudelaire). Students will be introduced to basic techniques of textual appreciation and commentary.
