This was truly one of my favorite classes at Notre Dame. Comparing the ideals of the French revolution to our modern society was one of the most interesting and compelling aspects of this course. Learning about the events that took place from a literary perspective enriched and broaden my knowledge and understanding of the motives and young democratic ideals behind one of the greatest revolutions in human history.
