Reviews

“This book is, to the best of my knowledge, original in focusing on the representation in women-authored texts of happiness. It brings to bear on a corpus of contemporary women-authored literary and filmic texts a useful - and in some cases relatively little known - body of theory on happiness, as social imperative transmitted notably through advertising and media in general, and as literary/cinematic theme. This approach has not previously been adopted in relation to French/francophone culture, and it proves illuminating.” Professor Diana Holmes, University of Leeds “Beyond the Happy Ending is an excellent addition to the field of French Studies and to analyses of women’s work more generally (both literary and cinematic).” Dr Sandra Daroczi, University of Bath
