"The major changes in French linguistic and literary education are intimately linked to the debate over French cultural identity. Addressing that topic from a range of disciplinary perspectives, this commemorative volume on French education-in France, in the ex-colonies, and in America-aims to sensitize scholars of French studies to unexplored aspects of the institutional history of our discipline."--BOOK JACKET.
