Speakers for MFL societies
Ian Brinton
Further to my talks on the poetry of
Philippe Jaccottet and the phenomenological world of Francis Ponge I am
very happy to visit schools or conferences to give some account on any
of the following topics:
• Flaubert’s Madame Bovary;
• The poetry and fantasies of Gerard de Nerval;
• Urban landscapes in the poetry of Baudelaire;
• The lost worlds of Alain-Fournier;
• Social realities in Balzac & Zola.
• Victor Hugo (novels or poetry)
• Camus
