About this book

Ousselin sets out to show that Europe is essentially a literary fiction and that the ongoing movement towards European unity cannot be understood without reference to the literary works that helped bring it about.

Reviews

'While avoiding undue simplification, [Edward Ousselin] has thus written a book that is admirably accessible to the general reader...No faint praise is intended in saying that Ousselin's study is essentially an (intelligent and incisive) introduction to the subject.' - French Studies
