French Texts that Made our World
Measures the lasting impact of seminal French literary works, from Abelard’s autobiography to Simone de Beauvoir's Le Deuxième Sexe or the "French theory" that toppled accepted authorities and traditions well beyond their original times and places. By providing historical and intellectual contexts, as well as close readings and conceptual tools, it retraces the threads of transmission and influence of foundational, although revolutionary, ideas and texts.
