PART II PAPER 21: THE FRENCH AND THE BRITISH PROBLEM, SINCE 1688 Robert Tombs

rpt1000@cam.ac.uk

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 Voltaires 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.
