Ecole Normale Supérieure

Most of the literature classes at Ens take the form of seminars or workshops and deal with broad themes, e.g literature and politics, writers and opera. etc. If you want to study a specific writer/literary movement, or gain some broader knowledge in a particular field, it is advisable to attend lectures at Paris 4 (Sorbonne) or Paris 3. Having said this, many of the French literature lectures I tried at Paris 4 were quite disappointing. I would however highly recommend Bertrand Marchal's courses for anyone who is interested in 19th c. Fr. literature - Baudelaire, Mallarme, Huysmans etc.

I would like to suggest that we can have more lively time table or schedule; one session of class may be can carried out in 2 hours instead or 4 or 5 hours. This will help students to understand and absorp the materials better. Overally, the rest is nice and suitable.
