This course consists of a study of what has traditionally been known as the Romantic period (1800-1850) in French literature, illustrated by authors such as Chateaubriand, Musset, Hugo, Nerval, and Sand. However, other literary figures of the period such as Stendhal, Balzac, Gautier, Mérimée, whose works (by turns realist, fantastic, or a hybrid mixture of diverse influences) resist easy classification, are also studied. Three hours a week plus conversation class. 08-09-2021-08-12-2021 Hybrid Monday, Wednesday 01:30PM - 02:45PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 508
