(the date of the earliest surviving document in any Romance language) to the 1980s is the most compact & imaginative single-volume guide available in English to the French literary tradition. In fact, no comparable work exists in either language. This is not the customary inventory of authors & titles but rather a collection of wide-angled views of historical & cultural phenomena. It sets before us writers, public figures, criminals, saints, & monarchs, as well as religious, cultural, & social revolutions. It gives us books, paintings, public monuments, even television shows. Written by 164 American & European specialists, the essays are introduced by date & arranged in chronological order, but here ends the book's resemblance to the usual history of literature. Each date is followed by a headline evoking an event that indicates the chronological point of departure. Usually the event is literary (the publication of an original work, a journal, a translation, the first performance of a play, the death of an author), but some events are literary only in terms of their repercussions or resonances. Essays devoted to a genre exist alongside essays devoted to one book, institutions are presented side by side with literary movements, & large surveys appear next to detailed discussions of specific landmarks. No article is limited to the "life & works" of a single author. Proust, for example, appears through various lenses, fleetingly, in 1704, apropos of Antoine Galland's translation of "The Thousand & One Nights"; in 1898, in conjunction w/ the Dreyfus affair; in 1905, on the occasion of the law on the separation of church & state; in 1911, in relation to Gide & their different treatments of homosexuality; & at his death in 1922. Without attempting to cover every author, work, & cultural development since the Serments de Strasbourg in 842, this history succeeds in being both informative & critical about the more than 1,000 years it describes. The contributors offer us a chance to appreciate not only French culture but also the major critical positions in literary studies today. Authoritative, lively, & highly readable, "A New History of French Literature" is essential reading for all engaged in the study of French culture & for all who are interested in it. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "This grandly imagined & executed history of French literature is without precedent in any language. Here are many of the best contemporary critics & theorists, writing w/ vivid originality, always in a personal accent. This volume is a triumph of editorial & critical intelligence." -Richard Poirier, Editor, Raritan Quarterly * By far the best single-volume guide in English to the French literary tradition." -Malcolm Bowie, University of London * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First edition. An uncommon photo book that commemorates the launch of the Campaign for (UC) Berkeley in 2008, highlighting the campus in pictures and in words from renown alumni and others. This is Joan Didion's copy, with a university notecard to her laid in from one… "Mary Kay," likely someone in University Relations. It reads in full: "Dear Joan, Greetings from Berkeley! We have found yet another way to use your inspirational words about Berkeley. The enclosed book include the summary of your essay in 'There Was Light'--the version you approved for the television spot--as well as another well-used quote of yours at the end of the book. Should you ever want to read your essay again, there are many people who have asked about it and would love to hear you read it again--or for the first time. I continue to follow your work and life and admire your strength and optimism. I hope this note finds you filled with hope for the new year. With warmest regards, Mary Kay." There Was Light: An Autobiography of a University: Berkeley, 1868-1968, referenced in the note, was published in 1970 and featured essays about the university from thirty-one notable alumni including Didion. She attended Berkeley from 1953-1956 and went on to become one of California's greatest chroniclers as literary journalist and essayist. See photos for the pages that hold Didion's words. A short quarto in denim blue cloth with the title stamped on the front board; dark blue endpapers and a transparent page guarding the half-title; 130 pages. A short introduction from Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau on the photo-illustrated jacket's front flap. The jacket depicts the campus's famous Sather Tower The book is fine; the jacket is very good with rubbing to all edges and some faint dampstaining at the center of its spine, mainly visible from the jacket's interior and with no discernible effect on the book itself. An incredible UC Berkeley association copy and keepsake; we dare say this would make a one-of-a-kind graduation gift. Signed.
