Résumé :
|
By scrutinizing the major Victorian political thinkers' perceptions and representations of France, this book shows how comparisons with the country on the other side of the Channel, its politics, civilization, and the French "national character" contributed to nineteenth-century Britain's self-definition. Among the figures discussed are Walter Bagehot, John Stuart Mill, Matthew Arnold, and Thomas Carlyle.
