add to cart   close window

The article critically appraises two books, "A Short History of the French People," by Charles Guignebert and translated by F.G. Richmond; and "France: A Study in Nationality," by André Siegfried. Here are two attempts of distinguished Frenchmen to ex plain their country to Americans. Guigriebert, in response to the compelling patriotic call of 1918, turned aside from his studies of early Christianity to lecture American soldiers on the history of France, and the results are now available in English translation in two fat volumes. Siegfried heeding a later and more subtle call to patriotic service, has published in a little volume his Williamstown lectures on contemporary France.
