This course will consider the Château of Versailles as an index of modern French civilization from its political and aesthetic origins at the court of Louis XIV to the present. The course will examine the role played by the château in the history of France, particularly at decisive moments. Versailles will be taken, as well, as a cultural icon reflecting, in literature, cinema, and fashion, widely held myths and conceptions of France.
