Wandering Women in French Film and Literature 
A Study of Narrative Drift

How and when can a narrative agent or voice be considered unreliable? What happens when narrative authority fails and, just as importantly, why does it? As a means to answering these questions, Wandering Women in French Film and Literature examines the phenomenon of ‘narrative drift’ through in-depth analysis of twentieth-century novels and films.
