The French and the British problem Convenor: Professor Robert

The French and the British problem
Convenor: Professor Robert Tombs
The subject of this paper is the cultural, political and economic impact on the
French of their complex relationship with the peoples north of the Channel
since the start of what is often called `the second hundred years’ war’.
The themes into which the reading is divided indicate the major thematic and
chronological divisions, within which lectures and classes will be given.
Supervisions will generally be on more specialized topics within these themes:
e.g. `Discuss Voltaire’s changing views of Shakespeare’; `Why did France
intervene in the American war of independence?’; `Why did French
revolutionaries talk of “exterminating” the English?’; `Why did the first entente
cordiale fail?’; `To what did French critics attribute “the superiority of the
Anglo-Saxons” in the 1890s?’; `Do you agree that interwar French foreign
policy was on the leading-strings of “the English governess”?’; `Why did de
Gaulle oppose British membership of the Common Market?’; `Why is the
French political elite so sensitive to British influence in the EU?’
A reading knowledge of French will permit students to study a wider range of
topics. But the paper is designed to be accessible to students with little or no
French.
It is intended that students and supervisors will have an ample choice of
topics. It will be taught by 24 lectures/classes in the Michaelmas term,
individual supervisions (6 per person) in either term, and 4 revision classes in
the Easter term. The total number taking the paper is limited to 24 students.
