FRENCH 728 / Romanticism, Realism and the Evolution of French Liberalism in the Early 19th Century

G. Moyal

This course will examine the role played by the developing currents in French literature in furthering (or hampering) the ideological agenda of French liberalism in the first half of the nineteenth century. As the evolution of that movement is, to a large degree, dependent on the British constitutional model and on the development of English “public spirit,” the role of translation (literary and cultural) will occupy a significant part of the course content.
