French 230ll - Colloquium: Topics in French Studies-Dream Places and Nightmare Spaces: French Literary Landscapes

Through texts by authors from Louis XIV to Colette, we discuss questions about literary uses of landscape: Why do we flee or search for a landscape? What makes us cherish or fear a particular place? What do landscapes tell us that the narrator or characters cannot or will not tell? Other authors may include Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Chateaubriand, Maupassant, Apollinaire, Robbe-Grillet and James Sacré. Basis for the major. Students may receive credit for only one section of FRN 230. Prerequisite: FRN 220. Enrollment limited to 18.
