Items related to The Death of French Culture
For a long time, France and its culture have been one and the same. The greatness of the former added to the influence of the latter, and vice versa. French writers, artists and philosophers were at the centre of the world's attention and enjoyed unparalleled prestige.

Review:
"This book offers yet another delicious glimpse into a relationship that never ceases to fascinate, that between the US and France. It has taken an American to crystallize what France doesn′t want to admit: that French culture is no longer an international force to be reckoned with. What is most compelling about it, though, is the accuracy of Morrison′s argument combined with his deep affection for France. There is no rejoicing in his writing. Morrison′s is a true lament . In his appraisal of France′s growing incapacity to maintain its universal cultural pull, Morrison entreats us to think about the meaning of culture and universalism in the 21st century."
