This event is in person only
In the wake of the upheaval caused by the French Revolution, the sense that History was accelerating at the outset of the nineteenth century became a framework for understanding the seriality of events, their causes and effects, their authenticity and their recollection. Such narrative structures of understanding also impacted the novel, and provoked its intensive development. This plenary event is co-sponsored by with the Association des professeur.e.s de français des universités et collèges canadiens (PFUCC) and supported by funding from the Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
