Media Reviews
All of the essays are carefully researched and articulate “the importance of the broader social and historical settings” (xix). Most of the essays are beautifully illustrated. This book is definitely worth reading. * The French Review *
Here is a well-arranged composite English-language work that introduces us to the literary movement of French cultural studies through its methodological practice. The analysis of non-traditional sources - generally left in the shadows by their popular origin (contrary to what is called the "high literature" of the great recognized authors) presents, in fact, a certain interest, and moreover, sheds new light on the research possibilities of cultural studies in literature and customs that have dominated the post-revolutionary period to the present day. . . . This original work once more opens discussions for the development of French cultural studies and serves as an example for anyone interested in this form of literary criticism. [Translated from original French] * Nineteenth-Century French Studies *
