French Political Travel Writing in the Interwar Years - Cornick, Martyn (University of Birmingham, UK) a Hurcombe, Martin (University of Bristol, UK) a Kershaw, Angela (University of Birmingham, UK)

This book studies travel writing produced by French authors following visits to dictatorial regimes perceived in inter-war France as totalitarian in nature. It gauges the appeal of totalitarian alternatives and their apparent promise for the French intellectual, considering to what extent the interest in such regimes reflects a utopian aspiration.
