It examines the form assumed by the ghosts of the past in fiction from a range of genres (travel writing, detective fiction, life writing, historical fiction, women's writing) produced within metropolitan France, and assesses the implications of haunting for French cultural memory.French fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismFrench fictionFrench-speaking countriesHistory and criticismPostcolonialism in literatureImperialismPsychological aspectsColonies in literatureLiterature and historyFranceHistory20th centuryPostcolonialismFrancePostcolonialismFrench-speaking countriesFrench fictionHistory and criticism.French fictionHistory and criticism.Postcolonialism in literature.ImperialismPsychological aspects.Colonies in literature.Literature and historyHistoryPostcolonialismPostcolonialism843/.91409Barclay Fiona1973-1547022MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781321703321Writing postcolonial France3803013UNINA
