FREN 10.24 The Outsider

This course, introduction to French literature, is a survey of French literature that focuses on one topic: the role of the outsider. As we read texts from each period, we will discover which identities were marginalized, often in the form of prejudice against an individual based on their religion, sexuality or geographical origin. During the term, we will investigate cross-cultural romance, cultural practices, and the uneasy position of religious beliefs within a secular society.
