Course Description : This course will offer close readings of a selection of some of the greatest poems by French and other Francophone poets by placing them in their historical and cultural contexts and by offering strategies for analyzing poetry, for reading French poems aloud, and for discussion of individual responses to the poems. Readings will also aim to enrich vocabulary, review syntax and syllable division, practice pronunciation and intonation, and appreciate the aesthetic values of the poems that make up this cherished part of French culture.
