Yale's graduate program in French literature offers both a rigorous grounding in French Literature and an interdisciplinary approach to French theory, thought, and culture. The graduate curriculum covers the Middle Ages to the present, and the literatures of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Maghreb. Our faculty are involved in programs outside the department, including African and African-American Studies, Comparative Literature, Film and Media Studies, Middle East Studies, Judaic Studies, Medieval Studies, and Renaissance Studies. These institutional affiliations provide bridges to related disciplines around the campus. Students have at their fingertips the holdings of one of the best research libraries in the world, the Sterling Memorial Library. The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library is an incomparable resource for scholars in French, holding treasures ranging from medieval illuminated manuscripts of the Roman de la Rose, to the holograph manuscript of Camus's Myth of Sisyphus and selections from Proust's correspondence.
