520    "In this authoritative and accessible account of French 
       literature, sixteen essays by leading specialists offer 
       provocative insights into French literary culture, its 
       genres, movements, themes, and historic turning points, 
       including the cultural and linguistic challenges of 
       today's multi-ethnic France. The French have, over the 
       centuries, invented and reinvented writing, from the 
       Arthurian romances of Chŕetien de Troyes to Montaigne's 
       Essays, which gave the world a new literary form and a new
       standard for writing about personal thought and 
       experience; from the highly polished tragedies of French 
       classicism to the satirical novels of the Enlightenment; 
       from Proust's explorations of social and sexual mores to 
       the 'New Novel' of the late twentieth century; and from 
       Baudelaire's urban poetry to today's poetic experiments 
       with sound and typography. The broad scope of this 
       Companion, which goes beyond individual authors or periods,
       enables a deeper appreciation for the distinctive 
       literature of France"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "Literature could be defined as the repertory of those 
       texts that survive long after the moment of their 
       composition. Of course, there are many other ways to say 
       what literature is. Aristotle said that poetry is 
       distinguished from history by its fictional quality, and 
       on this view poetry is what tells of those things that 
       could have happened rather than what actually did happen. 
       Thus, even if history were written in verse, it would 
       still not be poetic. The linguist Roman Jakobson, on the 
       other hand, described the 'poetic function' by reference 
       to the formal features of a text, independently of 
       judgments about reality and fiction, and late twentieth 
       century literary experimentation-including novels written 
       for Twitter and texts that arbitrarily omit a certain 
       letter of the alphabet-lends weight to this view. However,
       readers are probably not deeply concerned with such 
       boundary disputes. And in the academic study of literature,
       particularly of French literature, fiction and non- 
       fiction, prose and verse, manifestoes and slogans, 
       aphorisms and editorials, pamphlets, emblem books, and 
       treatises-all have found their place"--|cProvided by
