has been published by Liverpool University Press. The studies in this
volume examine aspects of physical culture--including not only sport in
the modern sense but also athletic activities that preceded or are
related to it, such as bodily forms of exercise and leisure--as
represented in literature written in French from Europe and around the
Francophone world.
Our essays pursue diverse interpretive approaches and focus on texts
from a wide variety of periods (medieval to the present) and genres
(short stories, novels, essays, poetry) in order to consider the
fundamental place of physical activities in
literature and culture from the French-speaking world. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Table of Contents:</div><div>
