The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of Paris
No city more than Paris has had such a constant and deep association with the development of literary forms and cultural ideas. The idea of the city as a space of literary self-consciousness started to take hold in the sixteenth century. By 1620, where this volume begins, the first in a long line of extraordinary works of the human imagination, in which the city represented itself to itself, had begun to find form in print. This collection follows that process through to the present day. Beginning with the 'salon', followed by the hybrid culture of libertinage and the revolutionary hotbeds of working-class districts, it explores the continuities and changes between the pre-modern era and the nineteenth century, when Paris asserted itself as cultural capital of Europe. It goes on to explore how this vision of Paris as a key capital of modernity has shaped contemporary literature.
Contemporary Fiction in French
Demonstrates how contemporary fiction in French has become a polycentric and transnational field of vibrant and varied experimentation.
The Extreme In-Between (Politics and Literature)
Frequently referred to as the éminence grise of French literature in the inter-war years, Jean Paulhan (1884-1968) was not just the editor responsible for giving writers as varied as Francis Ponge and Jean-Paul Sartre their first start in the pages of the renowned Nouvelle Revue Française. He also produced a substantial body of work of astonishing eclecticism. From dense, quasi-scientific texts on poetic language, where his critical expertise in contemporary linguistics and psychology is abundantly apparent, to enigmatic récits, which often seem closer to prose poems than anything else, he explored and exploited a vast range of discourses and artistic practices, from the Marquis de Sade's early works to Picasso's still lives. Yet all his explorations were governed by an overwhelming concern to understand what literature has to pay back to society. Anna-Louise Milne reveals the space Jean Paulhan sought to carve out, between art for art's sake and art for political ends, thereby establishing more clearly his place in the twentieth century. Book jacket.
Soixante-quinze
Anna-Louise Milne retrace l'histoire d'une petite rue du Nord de Paris, alors que des travaux de réhabilitation bouleversent la physionomie du quartier. Elle y passe régulièrement et se laisse de visite en visite surprendre par des détails qui surnagent dans le chaos des chantiers, découvrant l'enchevêtrement d'histoires que les décombres laissent encore deviner. L'auteur observe, déduit, se documente, mais aussi rencontre les habitants - notamment Mme Fr. et son mari, ancien ouvrier de l'imprimerie Lang qui avait ici ses quartiers. Cette énorme imprimerie, qui employait des milliers de personnes, est à elle seule un pan de l'histoire parisienne, et à travers les souvenirs du vieu...
The Extreme In-between
Frequently referred to as the eminence grise of French literature in the interwar years, Jean Paulhan (1884-1968) was not just the editor responsible for giving writers as varied as Francis Ponge and Jean-Paul Sartre their first start in the pages of the renowned Nouvelle Revue Franaise. He also produced a substantial body of work of astonishing eclecticism. From dense, quasi-scientific texts on poetic language, where his critical expertise in contemporary linguistics and psychology is abundantly apparent, to enigmatic recits, which often seem closer to prose poems than anything else, he explored and exploited a vast range of discourses and artistic practices, from the Marquis de Sade's early works to Picasso's still lifes. Yet all his explorations were governed by a primary and unflinching concern to understand what literature owes society. In a series of tightly orchestrated readings, Anna-Louise Milne brings to light the space he sought to carve out, between the art for arts sake ethos and the subordination of art to political ends.

5/1/1968
The events of 1968 are often seen purely as a student revolution, but impacted on every aspect of French society – theatre, film, sexuality, race, the countryside, the factories. This volume explores the full diversity of this extraordinary upheaval, and shows how 1968 continues to reverberate in France today.
The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of Paris

The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of Paris
For centuries Paris has had a deep association with the development of literary forms and cultural ideas. This Companion shows how Paris, in its various districts, has inspired writers from Moliere to Henry James, from Victor Hugo to Jean Rhys, and how it is now responding to multicultural diversity.
The Other '68ers
This is a history of 1968 written from a new perspective-that of center-right student activists in West Germany. Based on oral history interviews and new archival sources, it examines the ideas, experiences, and repertoires of center-right students in this age of protest. Writing these activists back into the history of 1968 and its afterlives -including student protest, cultural revolt, internationalism, debates about left-wing violence and the terror of the Red Army Faction, the memory wars of the 1980s and beyond - reveals that this was a broader, more versatile, and, ultimately, more consequential phenomenon than the traditionally narrower focus on a left-wing minority allows.
