Summary

The broad approach of the book encourages the reader to either investigate particular themes to take an overview of French cultural developments as a whole. This accessible and thought-provoking analysis of modern French culture assumes some knowledge of French and France and is ideal for A-level students and for undergraduates taking degree courses in French or European studies. It will also prove valuable for students taking language courses combined with other disciplines and for all those with an interest in, and awareness of, European cultural issues.
