Before Auschwitz

This book analyses Irene Nemirovsky's literary production in its relationship to the literary and cultural context of the inter-war period in France. It examines topics of central importance to our understanding of the literary field in France in the period, such as: the close relationship between politics and literature, the historical, political, cultural and personal legacies of the First World War, the so-called 'crisis of the novel' and the attempt to create and develop new narrative forms, the phenomenon of Russian emigration to Paris in the wake of the Russian Revolution and Civil War, the possibilities for the creation of a French-Jewish identity and mode of writing, and the threat of fascism and the approach of the Second World War.
