An accessible and authoritative new history of French literature,
written by a highly distinguished transatlantic group of scholars
This book provides an engaging, accessible, and exciting new
history of French literature from the Renaissance through the
twentieth century, from Rabelais and Marguerite de Navarre to
Samuel Beckett and Assia Djebar. Christopher Prendergast, one of
today's most distinguished authorities on French literature, has
gathered a transatlantic group of more than thirty leading scholars
who provide original essays on carefully selected writers, works,
and topics that open a window onto key chapters of French literary
history. The book begins in the sixteenth century with the
formation of a modern national literary consciousness, and ends in
the late twentieth century with the idea of the "national" coming
increasingly into question as inherited meanings of "French" and
"Frenchness" expand beyond the geographical limits of mainland
France. * Provides an exciting new account of French literary
history from the Renaissance to the end of the twentieth century*
