This course offers a critical study of French works written or republished for a young readership since the 18th century, in France, in Quebec, but also in other French-speaking countries or communities. Students will develop their knowledge of the rich and vast domain that constitutes children’s literature. Through the use of theoretical and critical works, students will examine the place that they occupy in the larger ecosystems of literature and of social discourse, and the specific challenges that these works face and address.

  • I was really happy I was able to take this course before I finished my undergrad. It was a lot of fun. The tests could be a little hard, but as long as you study and pay attention you will do just fine. Nicolas is a great prof and is willing to help his students a lot, he is very passionate. You do have to read 5 books, but the books I read in this course I genuinely enjoyed and will be keeping in my collection!
