Aimed firmly at the student reader, this handbook offers an overview of the full range of the history of France, from the origins of the concept of post-Roman 'Francia', through the emergence of a consolidated French monarchy, and the development of both nation-state and global empire into the modern era, forward to the current complexities of a modern Republic, integrated into the European Usnion and struggling with the global legacies of its past.

Short, incisive contributions by a wide range of expert scholars offer both a spine of chronological overviews, and a diverse spectrum of up-to-date insights into areas of key interest to historians today. From the ravages of the Vikings to the role of gastronomy in the definition of French culture, from Caribbean slavery to the place of Algerians in present-day France, from the role of French queens in medieval diplomacy to the youth-culture explosion of the 1960s, and the explosions of France's nuclear-weapons programme, this handbook provides accessible summaries and selected further reading to explore any and all of these issues further, in the classroom and beyond.
