Reading some theory is obviously commendable, but in view of the amount of work students have to cope with we hardly insist. (Here are some titles just in case: Pierre Brunel, Claude Pichois et André-Michel Rousseau, Qu'est-ce que la Littérature Comparée ?, Armand Colin ; Eric Hobsbawm, L'ère des Révolutions 1789 - 1848, tr. Jean Chevalier, Complexe ; Peter Nicholls, Modernisms: A Literary Guide, Macmillan.)
What is however compulsory is that the students should read one literary work for two of the three movements we look at.(Romanticism)
- Friedrich von Schiller, Cabale et amour - 1783 (trad. Sylvain Fort ; Poche, 1999)
- Stendhal, La Chartreuse de Parme - 1842 (Gallimard, Folio)
- Thomas De Quincey, Le mangeur d'opium - 1821/1828 (trad. Alfred de Musset ; Mille et une nuit, 2000)
(Modernisms)
- Joseph Conrad, Au coeur des ténèbres - 1901 (trad. André Ruyter, Garnier Flammarion)
- Marcel Proust, Du côté de chez Swann (A la recherche du temps perdu, tome 1) - 1913 (Gallimard, Folio)
- Italo Svevo, Senilità - 1898 (trad. Paul-Henri Michel ; Seuil Points)
(Postcolonial literatures)
