"Literature and Crisis", focuses on the following question: How do writers in 20th-century France address historical crisis in their works? We investigate the various ways in which writing deals with war and its aftermath, with immigration and women's issues and more recently, with the AIDS crisis. Denial, indifference, violence and political commitment are among the possible responses.
