Ebook: L’esthétique populiste: « L’Amour du peuple » dans la culture française de l’entre-deux-guerres

The French interwar period sees a complete aesthetic renewal: both the novels of the 1929-born ‘populist’ literary movement and the talking films of the time seek to dive into the daily lives of employees and workers in order to give them more visibility. The present study explores this new populist aesthetics and the powerful working class imaginary it succeeded in building.
