Dear Professor Lutz,<div><br></div><div>I will be offering a graduate seminar next Winter that is on the literature of late-nineteenth-century Paris. Please find below a description of the class which might be of interest to some of your students. I have had the pleasure of working with grad students from Creative Writing in the past and would be delighted to welcome more next quarter. Please feel free to circulate to parties that you think may be interested.</div><div><br></div><div>With thanks and best wishes,</div><div>Heidi</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 15px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 18px; "><font face="Arial" size="4" color="#2868b0" style="font: 15.0px Arial; color: #2868b0"><b>CPLT 277-1 – Paris, Capital of the 19th Century</b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 18px; "><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#444444" style="font: 12.0px Arial; color: #444444">Professor Heidi Brevik-Zender</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 18px; "><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#444444" style="font: 12.0px Arial; color: #444444">Taking as its point of departure Walter Benjamin’s well-known formulation of Paris as the capital of the 19th century, this course will focus on the complex literary construction of French modernity in the nineteenth century read both through and against Benjamin’s modernist construction of the period. Topics explored include post-Romanticism aesthetics, industrialization and Haussmannization, fashion, the expansion of mass culture, the flâneur, decadence, symbolism and the emergence of modernism. Primary texts by authors such as Balzac, Baudelaire, Gautier, Zola, Rachilde, Maupassant, Mallarmé, and Benjamin.</font></div></div><br><div> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Heidi Brevik-Zender</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Assistant Professor </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Director of French</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Department of Comparative Literature and Foreign Languages</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; ">University of California</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Riverside, CA 92521</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><br></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div><br><br></div><br><div>
