About this book
: |
 |
| In this concise history
of France since 1815, David Parry and Pierre Girard
examine |
|
distinctive features of contemporary France, tracing their
origins, and investigating their |
|
continuities and transformations. Each chapter focuses on a
particular chronological period: |
| beginning by setting the
scene in terms of political events, the narrative then broadens
out |
|
and France's relationship with Europe and with the
rest of the world. This clearly written, |
|
accessible textbook will
appeal to undergraduates studying French history, politics, and |
| culture,
as well as the general reader. |
