The heritage of literature in the French language is
rich, varied, and extensive in time and space; appealing both to its immediate
public, readers of French, and also to a global audience reached through
translations and film adaptations.
The first great works of this
repertory were written in the twelfth century in northern France, and now, at
the beginning of the twenty-first century, include authors writing in many parts
of the world, ranging from the Caribbean to Western Africa.
French
Literature: A Very Short Introduction introduces this lively literary world
by focusing on texts - epics, novels, plays, poems, and screenplays - that
concern protagonists whose adventures and conflicts reveal shifts in literary
and social practices.
From the hero of the medieval Song of
Roland to the Caribbean heroines of I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem
or the European expatriate in Japan in Fear and Trembling, these
problematic protagonists allow us to understand what interests writers and
readers across the wide world of French.
