A study of post-revolutionary France as depicted by Balzac, Flaubert, Zola, Proust and others in their novels. Film adaptations of the novels will also be discussed. We will consider topics such as public versus private spheres; old values versus new ones; the rise of the middle class; bodies and sexuality; the modern self. Pre-requisite: at least one course beyond FRN 230 or permission of the instructor.
