Editor's Note:
Online: http://www.sg.uu.nl/programma/voorjaa...SamenvattingWat hebben Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, de prinses van Clèves, Hester Prynne, Effi Briest en Eline Vere met elkaar gemeen? Zij zijn klassieke romanfiguren én overspelige vrouwen. De romans waarin zij voorkomen zijn geschreven in voorgaande eeuwen. Maar het thema van liefde en passie in conflict met plicht en rede wordt in elk van deze boeken zo behandeld dat de personages en hun ontwikkeling ook voor de moderne lezer volstrekt overtuigend zijn.Maarten van Buuren plaatst de schrijvers en hun romans in een cultuurhistorisch perspectief. Tijden veranderen, maar de mens blijft hetzelfde. Toch laten de romanpersonages zien dat zij zichzelf telkens anders definiëren: de conventies van de tijd waarin ze leven bepalen wel degelijk hun zelfbeeld.Dit hoorcollege kwam tot stand in samenwerking met Studium Generale UtrechtInhoudsopgaveCD1.
