A History of French Literature and Its Major Figures

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. From French history have emerged some of the greatest, most influential writers in the western tradition. While writers such as Rabelais, Voltaire, Balzac, Flaubert, Proust and Camus were certainly brilliant, their success and legacies are intimately linked with the circumstances during which they wrote. This book traces the history of French literature from the Middle Ages through the 20th century, presenting each period's key figures in context of the period as a whole.
