Description:
This magnificent volume provides a complete history of the literature of France from its origins to the present day, taking us beyond traditional definitions of 'literature' into the world of the best-seller and, beyond words, to graphic fiction and cinema. It presents a definitive history of the literature of France from its origins to the present day. It incorporates coverage of Francophone writing in Europe, Canada, the West Indies and North and Sub-Saharan Africa. It links the development of literature to the mentalities and social conditions which produced it. It takes us beyond 'literature' to study graphic fiction, cinema and the bestseller. It maps the rise of the Intellectual, and in so doing charts a progression from literary doctrine to critical theory.
Review:
'David Coward's new History is heroically comprehensive and shrewdly concise, generously accommodating in its definition of the subject, yet wisely discriminating in its detailed assessments. As the new millennium gets under way, it will surely be not only an essential guide but a lasting source of renewable pleasure for anyone interested in the literature and culture of France.' Times Literary Supplement 'In its breadth, depth, concision and sophistication of analysis, this book is an exceptional achievement. Neglecting neither Francophone nor gender-specific literature, this single-volume history of a thousand years of French writing and culture is a tour de force.' Choice 'Covering in varying depth everything down to modern gay, regional, and francophone writing, this approachable and clearly written book can be read front to back or a given strand can be followed through by moving through the headings classifying genres: theatre, poetry, etc.' Modern Language Review '[...] Coward comes into his element, and provides an invaluable synthesis of where French is now and where it is going. A whole raft of mainstream and marginal writing is presented and evaluated, and it is here that those of us who teach French find ourselves pedagogically the most deeply in Coward's debt.' The Times Higher Education Supplement 'The concise discussion of structuralism, poststructuralism, postmodernism, and deconstruction will be of use to many students of literature.'
