Covering the medieval period through the twenty-first century, this volume presents investigations into a vast array of subjects.  \u003ci\u003eRevisioning French Culture\u003c\/i\u003e grapples with topics vital to the contemporary cultural landscape, including universalism, globalization, the idea of Francophonie, and religious and secular identity. This essay collection furthermore transcends and illuminates the contemporary by delving into matters that have long resonated in the humanities and letters, such as death, war, trauma, power and politics, notions of the truth, conceptions of the self, and modes of reading and writing. With contributions by a number of figures known across the humanities and the social sciences, \u003ci\u003eRevisioning French Culture\u003c\/i\u003e provides cultural, political, and historical context for the crisis facing democracy and liberalism around the world today.  These essays were assembled in honor of Lawrence D. Kritzman, whose writing and editorial work in French studies inspired the wide-ranging themes examined here.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Sobanet, \u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eI.
