| Description: | In their study of prose and poetry from seventeenth-century France, students will be asked to pose questions concerning gender identity and sexual politics. What is the difference between sex and gender? What debates from previous centuries persisted to have an impact on the representation of gender? Do writers treat gender as an essence or do they point out its social construction in their texts? How do writers of different sexes use literary language to discuss gender identity? Students will keep these questions in mind as we read literary examples of various esthetic traditions: libertinage erudit, baroque, preciosity, classicism, and proto-enlightenment. Prose readings will include Honore d'Urfe's L'Astree, Guilleragues' Lettres portugaises, and Mme de Lafayette's Princesse de Cleves. We will also study the poetry of Theophile de Viau, Malherbe, Maynard, Voiture, Benserade, Regnier, Boileau, and Mme Deshoulieres. |
