The heritage of literature in the French language is rich, varied,
and extensive in time and space; appealing both to its immediate
public, readers of French, and also to a global audience reached
through translations and film adaptations. The first great works of
this repertory were written in the twelfth century in northern
France, and now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century,
include authors writing in many parts of the world, ranging from
the Caribbean to Western Africa. French Literature: A Very Short
Introduction introduces this lively literary world by focusing on
texts - epics, novels, plays, poems, and screenplays - that concern
protagonists whose adventures and conflicts reveal shifts in
literary and social practices. From the hero of the medieval Song
of Roland to the Caribbean heroines of I, Tituba, Black Witch of
Salem or the European expatriate in Japan in Fear and Trembling,
these problematic protagonists allow us to understand what
interests writers and readers across the wide world of French.
