COURSES – FALL 2026 / Literature / GEORGE SAND AND ÉMILE ZOLA
Coordinators: Sheryl Harawitz, Tatyana Chernomaz, Andrea Irvine, Ellen Shapiro
This fall, we explore two strikingly different voices from 19th-century French literature.
We begin with George Sand’s Indiana (1832), which looks at the social and emotional constraints placed on individuals within society as they search for love, dignity, and a place in the world.
Émile Zola’s Thérèse Raquin (1867), by contrast, plunges into a darker world of passion, murder, and psychological torment. These short novels offer a vivid glimpse into love, desire, and the pressures of life in modernizing France — and show how two writers approached human experience in dramatically different ways.
