Module description

This module will focus on the roots of France's culture and on the evolution of its national identity. The variety of material you will be given will help you to extend both your command of the language and your knowledge of French history and culture from the Middle Ages to the Age of Enlightenment. Both lectures and tutorials will be taught in French, and seminars will be focused on the study of textual and visual documents providing insights into the period being studied. They will provide solid foundation for content modules being offered at Honours level.
