Witness to a changing world forged in the defeat of 1870, the Dreyfus Affair, and World War I, Proust catalogued the move from a traditional nineteenth-century, still grounded in aristocratic and upper-middle-class models, to a more democratic, republican society. In his novel, he provides analyses of social structures, family life, Parisian society, social movements, sexualities, gender roles, religion, citizenship, politics, science, and the arts. This (two-semester) course will engage Proust and his era, along with secondary readings and relevant material from the time in which he was writing. Course discussions in English; written work may be in French or English. Undergraduates may opt to read some of the novel in English.
