PIETROMARCHI LUCA
(syllabus)
Poetry and the Novel in Nineteenth-Century France. This course is intended as a critical introduction to some of the great masterpieces of nineteenth-century French poetry and the novel, understood as a declination of, or reaction to, the Romantic revolution of the early nineteenth century. The development of French poetry will be analysed starting from Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil, while the history of the novel will be addressed through three declinations of the ‘heroic’ character in as many novels: Rastignac, the conquering hero of Balzac's Père Goriot; Frédéric Moreau, the anti-hero of Flaubert's Sentimental Education; Etienne Lantier, the revolutionary hero of Zola's Germinal.
