 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Literature
Hence the fondness of the literature of the seventeenth century for general ideas and for sentiments that are common to mankind, and its success in those kinds of literature which are based on the general study of the human heart.
Hence the contempt of the seventeenth century literature for all that is relative, individual and mutable; in lyric poetry, which appeals primarily to the individual sentiment, in the description of material phenomena, and the external manifestations of nature, it falls short of success.
For thorough understanding of the development of French literature in the seventeenth century, we must consider it in three periods: (1) from the year 1600 to 1659, the period of preparation; (2) 1659-1688, the Golden Age of classicism; (3) 1688-1715, the period of transition between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

 AP Central - French Literature Course Perspective
As noted in my comments on AP French Language, AP French Literature is quite a different course, although both of them offer students many rewards.
Both should be taught, if possible, because together they can provide students access to some of the world's greatest literature as well as familiarity with the roots of many English words.
Each of his poems should be first read aloud and understood by the students, who should then be allowed to ask questions.
