FREN 354 — Topics in Nineteenth Century French Literature

French · University of Ghana

The focus of this course is not only to study themes in 19th Century Literature but also to bring them closer to contemporary social issues. Topics such as social mobility, child labour, industrialisation and social change, the role of women in society, identity, the tyranny of money, which have been dealt with by French writers of the period, seem to have some contemporary appeal. A general survey of the historical factors of change should precede the study of the selected topics in two representative works, especially those of Zola, Stendhal and Balzac.
