FRNCH 320 - The Avant-Garde
Credits: 4
A study of the literary and cultural productions of France since the Revolution of 1789, with a focus on the innovations of the 19th and 20th centuries. This period has seen the consistent presence of an avant-garde, with innovation taking precedence over tradition in the esteem of readers, and each generation seeking to improve upon, reinvent, or even overthrow the last. Students trace this evolution through works in a variety of genres, and understand it as a reflection of an era of turbulence that was social and political as well as literary and cultural.
Prerequisite: FRNCH 305 or permission of instructor.
Distribution Requirements: HE, IP.
