Overview of class

French literature is known to have given form to all sorts of "love discourses": courtly love, love as passion, gallantry, libertinage, romantic love... In this course, we will account for the cultural significance of these discourses by reading texts or excerpts of texts written by authors from the Middle Ages to 18th century, all of whom in their writing question and sometimes displace the border between the licit and the illicit, the normative and the transgressive.
