FREN 10.02 The Heroic Heart

If exceptions prove the rule, what do heroes tell us about their societies? Whether motivated by political conviction, social ambition, religious faith, or esthetic vision, heroes across the ages often reflect, and sometimes confound, society's aspirations. A cast of characters - friends, helpmeets, enemies, paramours - is always necessary to enhancing the hero's singularity. Authors read in this course may include Chrétien de Troyes, Corneille, Diderot, Musset, Stendhal, Céline and Sartre.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
