FREN 6600
Nasty Woman: The Politics of Misogyny in Classical France

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

This course will examine the ideological prejudices that some of the major works of France's great period of artistic creation underly and structure what many consider the apogee of French culture.  At the same time we will look at the actual historical situation of women, particularly women in positions of power, (Catherine de Medicis, Marie de Medicis, La grande Mademoiselle, Anne d'Autriche, etc.) who were able to exercise political authority in a culture (legal and juridical) denied them any actual political role.

When Offered Fall.
