Description: This class examines the uneasy relationship between historical French actresses and courtesans and the authors and artists who imagined them. Through portrayals of real and fictional women performers in literature, painting, memoirs, and other media, we examine the culture of nineteenth-century France and discuss theories of gender, identity, and representation.
