"David Bell is among America's foremost observers of France, and
among its finest essayists. Like a stroll down a Paris side street,
these pieces reveal delights at every turn. But taken as a whole,
they leave a powerful impression of the monuments of France in all
their splendor, beauty, tragedy, pathos, and profundity."--Derek
McMahon, Dartmouth College
"Bell gives nonspecialist readers accessible introductions to the
debates that make French historical studies such a vibrant arena
for the exchange of political and cultural ideas...Bell's
engagement with public audiences offers academic historians
valuable strategies for sustaining the cultural influence of French
historical studies."--H-France
