FREN174 PO - The Romantic OtherWhen Offered: Fall 2016.
Instructor(s): M. Waller
Credit: 1
In the nineteenth century novel, love is the ultimate driving force, exerting a strong, harmful influence on the protagonists. Tempted by incest, adultery and miscegenation, they are frequently condemned to live in exile or die of grief… Why did the forbidden Other represent such a powerful, psychological and social danger after the Revolution? And why does romance play such an important role in Romanticism, the first great literary movement of post-revolutionary French society? The great novels of d’Albe, Chateaubriand, Staël, Duras and George Sand and a recent French film show that these questions are still with us. Prerequisite: FREN 044 PO .
