This course will examine texts from the late nineteenth century onwards to explore French poetry in its interactions with the visual arts, music and philosophy. In the process, the idea of poetry as a self-enclosed genre will be challenged, and reassessed as a fascinating cultural interface. Different paradigms for thinking about poetry in dialogue with other media will be envisaged, from rivalry to translation.

This course aims to examine texts from the late nineteenth century onwards to explore French poetry in its interactions with the visual arts, music and philosophy. In the process, the idea of poetry as a self-enclosed genre will be challenged and reassessed as a fascinating cultural interface. Different paradigms for thinking about poetry in dialogue with other media will be envisaged, from rivalry to translation.
The course may NOT be included as part of a graduating curriculum with FR4587 (Poetry in Dialogue B). It will be available in 2015/16 and in alternate sessions thereafter.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1st Attempt: one end-of-course essay worth 70% and one other written assignment worth 30%.
Resit: One two-hour examination. Only marks obtained at first attempt can be used for Honours classification.
Formative assessment will be given informally in class and by appointment. Written feedback will also have a formative aspect.
The assignment receives a CAS mark which the Course Guide links to specific marking criteria, and written or verbal feedback in the form of tutors' comments is also given. Additional informal feedback on performance and tutorial participation is offered in tutorials. Tutors have office hours at which further feedback may be sought.
