Book excerpt: This work relates selected examples of "protest" literature to the bewildering series of social and political events in France from 1721 to 1971. Beginning with Montesquieu's Lettre persanes and ranging across the French Revolution, two Napoleonic empires, five republics, and two world wars, to the student revolt of 1968, the author uses some two dozen literary selections as protest commentary upon events with which such writings were contemporaneous.
