Together, these developments reflected the diversity of intellectual commitment in France in the uncertain and troubled 1920s and 1930s. The interwar period also witnessed France's relative decline, as expressed in a move from a mood of immense relief coupled with a feeling of debilitating fatigue to an inward-looking, pessimistic, and defeatist outlook that presaged World War II and national collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Conner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680536869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680536867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academica Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Tom Conner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123344208127,"sku":"9781680536867","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_781a2754-506a-4cb6-a70c-9c545c639636.jpg?v=1687430350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-intellectuals-at-a-crossroads-tom-conner-9781680536867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
