Just a book review I came across, that might be amusing to some of you! http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2001/sep/15/historybooks.highereducation2

I take your point about post-modernism though--I can't say I'm particularly pleased with much of it. (For reasons which may or may not appear obvious, given my views of the Revolution.)
From a lot of what I've seen of British "love" of France, it almost seems to me that they think the French don't deserve to live there and to enjoy it. (And really, there's no excuse for de Gaulle's sometime contempt for the people he purported to lead...) As to the British aristocracy's Norman origins, I can't really help blaming the Anglo-American conception of French as a snobbish language on them... But perhaps that's just me.
