Focusing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this comparative study delves into the Catholic literary revivals in France and England. It analyzes how writers from both nations grappled with secularization, contesting prevailing ideologies within individual and societal contexts. The book highlights the tension between Catholic themes and secular influences, providing insights into the broader literary landscape. It serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in Catholic literature, intellectual history, and the sociology of religion in these regions.

The Jews of France have been liberated for over two centuries; they have been considered free citizens and equal to their compatriots. What purpose, then, does it serve to study their citizenship today? Until World War II, French Jews called themselves "Israelites"; they were deeply patriotic and had found a place for themselves in France's "community of citizens." However, outbursts of anti-Semitism during that period reminded them that their new status prevented neither hate nor rejection; they had to persevere in the struggle for citizenship equity.
