This second of three volumes on French history explores how and why events and figures become part of a people's collective memory, looking at elements of French history and culture instrumental in the development of a common national identity. Section I examines land, cathedral, and court and their expression of the cultural and artistic genius of the French sensibility. Section II analyzes distinctive characteristics associated with the image of France, with material on religion, language, war memorials, the Tour de France, street names, and gastronomy. Concludes with readings of exemplary texts in the French tradition, by authors such as Marcel Proust and Ernest Lavisse. Includes b&w photos and illustrations.
