This blog is for students taking the History of Eighteenth-Century France at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. From time to time I will post relevant links and entries. This will also be the site where I post exam questions.

French Film Viewing


I will be showing the film Ridicule on Wednesday 1o November at 6 pm in the Academic Forum Room 201. This film is set in the court of Louis XVI in the years before the Revolution. There are several references to the culture of the Enlightenment as well as the inner workings of the court and the ethos of the aristocracy. It is not required for History 219 but it will help illuminate much of what we have covered in class.

A brief synopsis from the Internet Movie Database: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117477/
