The emergence of national education in France is often viewed as a
struggle between spiritual and secular authorities, church and
state. When one looks at the role of literature in education,
however, a different picture appears. By assuming control over the
teaching of French language and literature, the state claimed
spiritual guardianship over the nation. The issue was therefore not
so much of conflict between spiritual and secular forces, as the
attempt by one institution to appropriate the spiritual authority
of another. Situated at the intersection of history and literary
criticism, this book casts new light on literary pedagogy, canon
formation, and the relationship between culture and the modern
French state.
