Joie de Vivre in French Literature and Culture Book PDF Summary

The apparent self-sufficiency of "joie de vivre" means that, despite the widespread use of the phrase since the late nineteenth century, the concept has rarely been explored critically. "Joie de vivre "does not readily surrender itself to examination, for it is in a sense too busy being what it is. However, as the essays in this collection reveal, "joie de vivre" can be as complex and variable a state as the more negative emotions or experiences that art and literature habitually evoke. This volume provides an urgently needed study of an intriguing and under-explored area of French literature and culture from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era. While the range and content of contributions embraces linguistics, literature, art, sport and politics, the starting point is, like that of the term "joie de vivre "itself, in French language and culture.
