The sounds and rhythms of French language poetry have evolved sharply over time. How can listening to the musicality of poems enhance our understanding of poetic meaning? To attune the ear, develop poetic voice and a heightened sensibility to the visual and aural experience of poems, students will listen to, record, recite and translate poetry. Readings will range from classical works such as Racine's Phèdre and Molière's Tartuffe to poets such as Baudelaire, Hugo, Mallarmé, and Tzara. Recommended Course Background: AS.212.333 or AS.212.334
