Description

In this course, we will examine the representation of the changing relationship between power and passion during the nineteenth-century. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which the emblematic image of Napoleon dominated literature and the arts in early nineteenth-century France: how the conflicts between money and artistic ideals were represented in literary works, historical documents, urban development, and painting. Texts by Chateaubriand, Stendhal, Balzac, Hugo, Baudelaire, Flaubert, and Zola. Conducted in French.
