Considered one of the most important novelists of the twentieth century, Marcel Proust was a pillar of modernist writing, as illustrated in his massive seven-volume novel, A la recherche du temps perdu.听 Witness to a changing world forged in the defeat of 1870, the Dreyfus Affair, and World War I, Proust catalogued the move from a traditional nineteenth-century, still grounded in aristocratic and upper-middle-class models, to a more democratic, republican society.听 In his novel, he provided analyses of social structures, family life, Parisian society, social movement, sexualities, gender roles, religion, citizenship, politics, science, and the arts. This module will serve as an introduction to Proust's work and also an introduction to the society in which he lived and to the other writers of his time in Europe. We will read portions of the "Recherche" and works by Woolf, Gide, Colette, Mann, and Svevo.听

Aims and Learning Outcomes:听

The course is intended to give students a range of analytical tools to approach European literature at the beginning of the 20th Century, such as historical, philosophical, psychoanalytical, and cultural approaches. The course aims to encourage students to think of the challenges of dealing not only with Proust鈥檚 massive novel (one million words over seven volumes) but also with the imbricated context of European literary culture in the Belle 茅poque听

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to demonstrate:听

鈥� critical analysis skills related to European novels of the beginning of the 20th Century;听

鈥� the ability to compare the different literary and cultural contexts of France, Germany, Italy, and the UK;听

鈥� an advanced ability to use scholarly sources;听

鈥� the capacity to develop questions related to interdisciplinary research.听
