Knowledge of important works and literary movements, from 1700 to 1850.

| Content |
The class will survey one and a half century of literature, from the triumph of Classicism to its deep subversion implied by Romanticism. In between, there is the important period of the Enligtenment which is, in the second half of the 18th Century, a consolidation of Classicism as, in the same time, the moment of its first critics. On the changing background of these aesthetic and intellectuel movements, we will view the masterpieces of the most prominent writers. The life of literature on the long term, will be thought as an indicator of the life of society as a whole: the history of literature will be seized in connection with the broader history of the period.
