Learning objectives

In accordance with the periodization adopted in our French literature courses (first year: from 1850 to the present; second year: Eighteenth century and first half of the Nineteenth century; third year: Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries), this course aims to present the French Literature of the 16th and the 17th Centuries and the artistic and philosophical culture of those historical periods. Moreover, the professor intends to provide students with the theoretical and methodological tools for the literary and linguistic analysis of the proposed texts. The lessons, both lectures and seminars, will be held in French, with the purpose of improving the students’ linguistic level as well. At the end of the course, students shall therefore acquire solid knowledge concerning the history of Sixteenth and Seventeeth-century French literature, along with the capacity of applying, in French, critical and textual analysis competences to the works presented during the course.

Prerequisites and basic notions

According to the prerequisite criteria, the student must have passed the exams of French Literature 1, French Literature 2, French Language 1 and French Language 2.
