French Intellectuals at a Crossroads examines a broad array of
interrelated subjects: the effect of World War I on France's
intellectual community, the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the rise
of international communism, calls for pacifism, the creation of an
"Intellectuals' International of the Mind," the debate over the
myth of the disengaged intellectual, the apolitical group of
"intellectuels non-conformistes," and, finally, the challenges of
surrealism. Together, these developments reflected the diversity of
intellectual commitment in France in the uncertain and troubled
1920s and 1930s. The interwar period also witnessed France's
relative decline, as expressed in a move from a mood of immense
relief coupled with a feeling of debilitating fatigue to an
inward-looking, pessimistic, and defeatist outlook that presaged
World War II and national collapse.
