"I see your Robert Burns and raise you Victor Hugo"

My Prof, the feminist, socialist, ecologist (we actually get on really well) who has a love-hate relationship with Sarko is determined to introduce us to the highlights of French literature. So we look at a poem/extract a week by the heavyweights of French writing and thought. It’s designed to help our pronunciation.

So far we’ve looked at:

·         Arthur Rimbaud

·         Paul Verlaine

·         Guillaume Apollinaire

·         Simone de Beauvoir

·         Jean Paul Sartre

·         Albert Camus

·         Victor Hugo

·         Charles Baudelaire
