Centre for European Studies Office (european.studies@tcd.ie) or our departmental EScoordinator, Dr Edward Arnold (ejarnold@tcd.ie).EARLY MODERN FRENCH LITERATUREFRU22041 (5 ECTS) Michaelmas TermModule CoordinatorDr Sarah Alyn StaceyModule DescriptionThe module begins with Du Bellay’s Les Antiquitez de Rome (1558), a seminal work which metwith European recognition (it was, for example, translated by Edmund Spenser). Theselectures consider the virtuoso use of the sonnet to articulate a range of universal andtranshistorical themes about the human condition and our place in the universe. We thenexamine drama, focusing on the Golden Age of French theatre, the seventeenth century, or‘Grand Siècle’. Through an analysis of social satire in Molière’s grande comédie, LeMisanthrope (1666), we will engage with themes such as non-conformity, friendship,happiness and morality. Moving from comedy to tragedy, we will examine Corneille’s Le Cid(1648), a play constructed around the eternally-significant themes of honour, duty, heroism,sacrifice and authority. The study of these two plays will permit valuable insights into boththe dramaturgical conventions and the moral philosophy of the time.This module comprises one weekly lecture (see lecture programme below) and one weeklyseminar. All lectures are given by Dr Alyn Stacey.Module Learning OutcomesOn successful completion of the course, students will be able to: Analyse critically and independently, in English and French, a variety of major literarytexts ranging from the 16th to the 17th century. Demonstrate an ability to use the specific discipline of literature (in particular genericcategories) to analyse and contextualise texts and to examine literary developmentsin France from the 16th to the 17th century. Organise and present ideas in English and French, in writing and orally, within theframework of a structured and reasoned critical argument. Use the appropriate methodologies and relevant resources for the presentation oftheir work.Course TextsJoachim Du Bellay, Les Regrets, précédé de Les Antiquitez de Rome (Paris: Gallimard (coll.NRF), 1975).Molière, Le Misanthrope, ed.

TheFrench language, like any other language in current use, is constantly evolving, therebyresponding to the needs and demands of its users. In addition to looking at the factors whichhave produced the mainstream variety of French, official standard French, the module looksat and evaluates attempts to control the language by the State. The concept of variation inlanguage is considered and the various factors which determine the way written and spokenlanguage are produced in a particular set of circumstances are identified. The influence ofgeographical origin (with particular reference to the languages of France and regional anddialectal French), age, sex, socioeconomic status and register will be examined in detail. Thismodule also explores spontaneous innovation in the French language (focusing on youthlanguage, immigrant language, and different forms of slang) and official innovation – such asneologisms, spelling reform and combating sexism in language. It also looks at anglicisms andthe influence of other languages on 21st century French. Finally, it looks at first and secondlanguage acquisition with specific reference to the French language.This module is made up of one weekly lecture and one weekly seminar.Module Learning OutcomesOn successful completion of this module students will be able to: Identify a wide range of sociolinguistic issues relating to languages, dialects and patoisin France. Critique the historical role of the state in protecting the standard language. Identify key aspects of linguistic policy in France. Discuss the sociolinguistic aspects of regional, situational and social variation inrelation to different language varieties in France. Explain the different ways in which the French language is currently defended andpreserved.12
