FREN 342 -  Inventing Modernity: Nineteenth-Century French Narrative

Credits: (3)
Prerequisite(s): FREN 314  or FREN 315 
Why is the nineteenth century in France considered the Golden Age of the Novel? This course explores that question by focusing on how writers such as Balzac, Sand, Flaubert, and Zola used narrative in order to construct their own modernity.
