French 331f (01): Courses on Social and Political Issues and Critical Approaches
Topic for Fall 05: Fictional Heroines in the Ancien Régime (pre-1800) M 1:00-3:50:
The purpose of this course is to create an electronic edition of an unpublished eighteenth-century manuscript "Les Mémoires de la comtesse de L..." Using fiction by female writers of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, students will probe the realities of women's lives in the Ancien Régime: loveless marriages, convents, prostitution, and madness. In addition to examining fictional heroines of Diderot, l'abbé Prévost, Choderlos de Laclos, and le marquis de Sade, students will learn to encode structural, contextual, and analytical elements of the text using the latest Web technologies. (Technological support will be integretated into the course.)
