France entered the twentieth century as a powerful European and
colonial nation. In the course of the century, her role changed
dramatically: in the first fifty years two World Wars and economic
decline removed its status as a world power, whilst the immediate
post-war era was marked by wars of independence in its colonies.
Yet at the same time, in the second half of the century, France
entered a period of unprecedented growth and social transformation.
Throughout the century and into the new millennium France retained
its former international reputation as a centre for cultural
excellence and innovation and its culture, together with that of
the Francophone world, reflected the increased richness and
diversity of the period. This Companion explores this vibrant
culture, and includes chapters on history, language, literature,
thought, theatre, architecture, visual culture, film and music, and
discuss the contributions of popular culture, Francophone culture,
minorities and women.
