Could the existing \"sacred\" narrative of French history established by the Third Republic hold in the face of the defeat of France's military and political systems, both built upon its foundations? \u003ci\u003eThe French Historical Narrative and the Fall of France: Simone Weil and her Contemporaries Face the Debacle\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on assessments of the Debacle and places Simone Weil's writings of 1938 to 1943 within this continuum. This study recreates the debate in those fraught years to posit a \"horizon of expectations\" within which to place and better appreciate Simone Weil's writing of the period, far reaching and bold but hardly \"crazy\" (as De Gaulle is said to have characterized her ideas).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristine Ann Evans\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emerita of comparative literature at Lesley University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44254462083123,"sku":"9781793646682","price":183.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/2191\/6467\/files\/Gx92--2ypw9781793646682.webp?v=1777982008","url":"https:\/\/thereadinghousebookcompany.com\/products\/the-french-historical-narrative-and-the-fall-of-france-simone-weil-and-her-contemporaries-face-the-debacle-paperback","provider":"The Reading House Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
