Literature: French Literature Post 1945
This ten week course ranges widely across postwar French literature and its themes and concerns. Stephen has discussed French literature before, but these texts are all previously untaught.
The texts are:
The Plague - Albert Camus.
Memoirs of Hadrian - Marguerite Yourcenar.
Missing Person - Patrick Modiano.
Street of Thieves - Mathias Enard.
Simple Passion - Annie Ernaux.
These very different books will introduce us to disparate elements of the French psyche, and explore themes of identity, memory and displacement.
The course will feature lectures, group discussions, close-reading and contextualisation of the historical moments pertinent to each writer and text. It will be provoking intellectually and imaginatively, and lively participation is encouraged.
