FREN 432 - Heroes and Heroines

The 17th century in France is a period where heroines and heroes were redefined to fit a society in transition. Topics will include the transition form the Baroque to Classicism, and the evolution of dominant intellectual and political currents such as rationalism and absolutism and the redefinition of the role of masculine and feminine ideals.
