Comparative Literature Comparative Literature coursescoursesCOM 180S - Literature and the Arts:

The Making of Modern France Using Paris as the classroom, this course will examine the French

historical novel, with particular emphasis on Notre Dame de Paris, by Victor Hugo to explore Notre Dame’s iconic position in the center of Paris since it was built in the thirteenth century. We will examine how the novel fictionalized the medieval period, how the novel meditates on the nature and meaning of history, and how it functions as contemporary political and ideological analysis. In addition, will examine the artistic and architectural legacy the novel explores.

COM 198 – Beneath the Surface: Medieval Paris

In this course students will participate in fieldtrips that will complement the studies they are doing in COM 180S.
