QUARRELS OF THE ANCIENTS AND THE MODERNS: Past, Present, and Future in the French literary tradition

Matthew Amos

We call the "Querelle des anciens et des modernes" the conflict that raged at the heart of French letters from the late 17th to the early 18th centuries and which pitted those who found the ancient Greeks and Romans to be untouchable in terms of artistic merit against those who considered contemporary esthetic innovations to be a progression beyond the inheritance of Antiquity. Although we will read several texts commonly included in the canon of the Querelle, this course is not meant to be a survey of this specific historical conflict, but rather a broader exploration of the roles played by the past, the present and the future in the creation and reception of works of literature in the French tradition. We will focus on several authorial oppositions (Corneille/Racine, Voltaire/Rousseau, Balzac/Flaubert, Sartre/Blanchot), oppositions which each time restate the place of literature on the temporal spectrum. Readings from Montaigne, Corneille, De Scudéry, De Sévigné, Racine, Boileau, La Fontaine, Perrault, Crébillon fils, Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau, De Staël, Constant, Balzac, Flaubert, Zola, Huysmans, Sartre and Blanchot. Taught in French. Students should have completed an advanced French language course or speak with the professor before registering for this course. Class size: 20
