FREN 124 SC - Women of Freedom and Desire
This course examines the journeys of desire at the heart of four profoundly diverse French texts dating from the 17th to the 20th century. From Mme de Lafayette’s courtly Versailles novel to the Balzacian salon; and through the eyes of Colette’s “Gigi” and the passions of Marguerite Duras’ “Lover”, we will examine the protagonists’ quests for freedom from shiny rings, golden cages, and strict expectations. Underpinning the construction of feminine identity central to each of the texts will be a charting of the evolution of French fiction.
Prerequisite(s): FREN 044 or equivalent.
