Opis: Invention of Europe in French Literature and Film - Edward Ousselin, E Ousselin

This title demonstrates that Europe is essentially a literary fiction and that European unity cannot be understood without reference to the literary works that helped bring it about. This book is linked to the current developments in the European Union. While most of the publications that deal with the history of the European Union take a political or economic approach, this is the only book that links the institutional development of Europe with its literary and cultural background. Ousselin sets out to show that Europe is essentially a literary fiction and that the ongoing movement towards European unity cannot be understood without reference to the literary works that helped bring it about. 'While avoiding undue simplification, [Edward Ousselin] has thus written a book that is admirably accessible to the general reader...No faint praise is intended in saying that Ousselin's study is essentially an (intelligent and incisive) introduction to the subject.' - French StudiesVoltaire's Europe The European Spirit of Germaine de Stael Victor Hugo's European Utopia The Shrunken Europe of Maurice Barres Europe Onscreen: Jean Renoir Institutionalizing the Dream: Denis de Rougemont
