Lectures. The fields considered will be different than those covered by the courses ROM2221 and 2223, in an effort to offer complementary views. A historical panorama of the fifteenth century will be given in the first place, with particular attention to Villon and his century. A more detailed analysis will follow, structured around a genre or a precise theme relevant to Villon's poetry : death, pauverty, jail ; the debate, the allegory, etc.
