What is French?

France and French history appear across a wide range of academic disciplines, from political history and economics to art history and film studies. Students encounter this subject in history, social studies, international relations, and humanities courses, where France serves as a focal point for examining European politics, colonial expansion, cultural production, and economic theory. The breadth of the topic reflects France's long historical influence—its conflicts with Britain and its role in shaping North American history through events like the French and Indian War make it a recurring subject in courses covering early modern and colonial history, while French art movements and cinema invite analysis in arts and media programs.

The archived papers approach this subject from several distinct angles. Historical and political analysis dominates, with essays examining the French and Indian War, British legislation between 1764 and 1774, and the motivations of colonial powers and Amerindian peoples caught between competing empires. Cultural and artistic perspectives also feature prominently, including work on the French New Wave's influence on modern film directors and analysis of figures like Pierre Bonnard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in connection with La Revue blanche. Some papers engage economic frameworks, such as the Fama-French model in contrast to the Markowitz Portfolio theory.

A strong essay on a French-related topic begins with a tightly scoped thesis that connects a specific event, movement, or figure to a broader historical or cultural argument. Evidence drawn from primary sources, policy documents, or close analysis of artistic works tends to carry the most weight. A common pitfall is treating "French" as a geographic backdrop rather than an active force—strong papers consistently examine how French institutions, individuals, or conflicts directly shaped outcomes in politics, culture, or economics.

French absolutism from Francis I through Louis XIV

The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries plays an important role in shaping public opinion across France as individuals came to express particular interest in supporting an absolute monarchy as a result of nobles gradually being pushed aside, the baroque style as a consequence of the Catholic Church promoting such attitudes, and the scientific revolution as they acknowledged the progress they could experience as it advanced. French nobles emphasized their power in the state and Catholics had a series of divergences with Protestants, thus influencing French monarchs to want to have a higher level of authority and for artists to express interest in ideas that were in accordance with attitudes contemporary to them.
