This book analyses the use of the crucial concept of 'taste' in the works of five major seventeenth-century French authors, Méré, Saint Evremond, La Rochefoucauld, La Bruyère and Boileau. It combines close readings of important texts with a thoroughgoing political analysis of seventeenth-century French society in terms of class and gender. Dr Moriarty shows that far from being timeless and universal, the term 'taste' is culture-specific, shifting according to the needs of a writer and his social group. The notion of 'taste' not only helped to shape a new dominant culture, but also registered the conflicts within that culture between a view of taste that presupposted the values of 'polite society' as an exclusive (though not necessarily aristocratic) group, and a view that stressed the value of the classical-humanist tradition as a source of standards ratified by a broader public. this study sheds light not only on the central concept, but also on the individual authors discussed and on the norms of French classical literature in general.

In this work Professor McMahon takes a new approach to interpreting the most canonized century in French literature. By viewing literature as essentially a cultural practice, she offers an unconventional reading of canonical masterpieces of the era (Corneille's Medee, Moliere's La Bourgeois gentilhomme, Racine's Phedre, and La Fontaine's Fables) to the extent that these works are compared to "non-literary" texts which focus on the human body. "Classics Incorporated" draws on extensive archival research into such unfamiliar historical sources as cookbooks, shopping guides, treatises on medicine and monstrosity, and dance manuals. Because of this insistence on treating literature as part of a given culture and historicising texts in a novel manner, "Classics Incorporated" stands apart as a critical study that can appeal to a diverse audience: those who are interested in cultural criticism, popular culture, cultural history, and critical theory alike.

Ranum analyzes the canons of writing history and describes the lives and achievements of the royal French historiographers. He examines the manner in which these writers described and, in some sense, created the glory that surrounded the lives of the nobility, hoping by so doing to enhance their own glory. Through studying the careers of these men, the author demonstrates how rhetorical, ideological, and social beliefs determined the way history was written. Originally published in 1980.

This classic collection of essays has already established itself as a rich source of material for students of sixteenth and seventeenth-century France. Natalie Davis focuses on the lower social orders - peasants, artisans, the poor generally - and in a series of brilliantly penetrating cast-studies throws fresh light on some of the great issues of social change: the impact of printing, the rise of protestantism, the role of women, power-relations between groups and classes′.

This collection of essays, assembled to celebrate the acquisition of the Geoffrey Aspin collection of 17th-century books by TCD, focuses on the theme of conflict to provide an insight into a range of 17th-century topics, notably Franco-Irish and Franco-English relations, drama, prose, theology, politics and medical ethics. Various chapters illustrate the way in which politics and science influence literature, religion informs medical practice, literary and cultural tastes affect translation. Others examine Restoration Dublin and the military alliances formed between France and Ireland against William of Orange.

This volume, written in honour of Philip Thody, Emeritus Professor of French at the University of Leeds, reflects his own wide-ranging contribution to the field of French Studies. It brings together eighteen original essays by leading scholars, exploring a variety of interrelated literary, philosophical and political issues which will interest all students of French culture. While some chapters offer comparative studies of French and English writers, others analyse the links between major figures of French literature and thought, or those between the cultural, social and political worlds where the twentieth-century French intellectual plays such an important role in the development of ideas. The volume contains studies of the novel, poetry, drama, thought and cinema and covers a range of subjects including civil law in the seventeenth century, the eighteenth-century campaign for abolition of the slave trade, attitudes to Occupation and Liberation, ideological debate after the Second World War, and the problems of life in the modern city and the banlieue.
