Summary:

"This interdisciplinary volume analyzes previously understudied sources from nineteenth- and twentieth-century France and the Francophone world and situates them in their social, cultural and political contexts. Essays offer new interpretations of these diverse materials while also reflecting on the methodological challenges of studying such sources and suggesting new models for research in the field of French cultural studies"--Provided by publisher.
