He decided to try all three. In this series\, Prof Tombs analyses Brexit\, why it happened\, and what it means; how different policies towards European integration taken in Britain and France tell us much about the direction Europe has taken; and how Brexit’s diplomatic and economic impact may be small next to the cultural\, social\, and political consequences.\n\n\nFilmed in St Edmund Hall’s Old Library in November 2023\, this series of lectures will be published online in May 2024. \nProf Robert Tombs is a distinguished historian\, specialising in the history of Britain and France. He is Professor Emeritus of French History at Cambridge and a Fellow of St John’s College. His published works include The War Against Paris\, 1871 (1981)\, That Sweet Enemy: The French and the British from the Sun King to the Present (2006\, with Isabelle Tombs); The English and Their History (2014)\, and This Sovereign Isle (2020). His writing appears regularly in The Daily Telegraph\, The Spectator\, and The Times\, and he is the editor of Briefings for Britain and History Reclaimed. In 2007\, the French Government awarded Tombs the prestigious Ordre des Palmes Académiques ‘for services rendered to French culture’. He was appointed to the Franco-British Council the following year. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/robert-tombs-a-shameful-conquest-britain-before-and-after-brexit-tickets-804330483127?aff=ebdsoporgprofile”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Marie Kawthar Daouda – Romance and Reality in French Culture

Marie Kawthar Daouda discusses the continuity and rifts between the main aesthetic currents of French contemporary literature\, their connection with French and European politics\, and how authors from Chateaubriand to Camus have endeavoured to distinguish permanent truth behind ever-changing circumstances. \n\n\n\n\nHow did the Romantic movement echo the philosophical issues raised by the French Revolution? Can literature describe the world as it is? How do symbols and language work together in poetry? Does the evil of the war make beauty irrelevant? Marie Kawthar Daouda discusses these questions by engaging with relevant passages of the novels\, poems\, and essays that shaped French literature from 1789 to the 1940s. \nFilmed in the Old Library at St Edmund Hall and in the Ursell Room at Pusey House in November 2023\, this series of lectures will be released online in May. \nLecturer in French Literature\, University of Oxford\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ali-ansari-interpreting-iran-tickets-877086026917?aff=oddtdtcreator”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
