This History is the first in a century to trace the development and
impact of the novel in French from its beginnings to the present.
Leading specialists explore how novelists writing in French have
responded to the diverse personal, economic, socio-political,
cultural-artistic and environmental factors that shaped their
worlds. From the novel's medieval precursors to the impact of the
internet, the History provides fresh accounts of canonical and
lesser-known authors, offering a global perspective beyond the
national borders of 'the Hexagon' to explore France's colonial past
and its legacies. Accessible chapters range widely, including the
French novel in Sub-Saharan Africa, data analysis of the novel
system in the seventeenth century, social critique in women's
writing, Sade's banned works and more. Highlighting continuities
and divergence between and within different periods, this lively
volume offers routes through a diverse literary landscape while
encouraging comparison and connection-making between writers, works
and historical periods.
