| Abstract | A collective endevour by some of France's most distinguished intellectuals, the three volumes of Pierre Nora's monumental Realms of Memory explore how and why certain places, events, and figures became a part of France's collective memory, and reveal the intricate connection between memory and history. This text is the second volume of the series and emphasizes the shared aspects of French history and cultural instruments in the development of a national identity. It includes 14 essays on subjects ranging from Proust's Remembrance of Things Past to the Tour de France. |
