The theme of this 42nd colloquium in Nineteenth-Century French Studies is la terre. La terre and its associations are of central importance to French culture and literature during the long nineteenth century. Changing regimes and demographics, modernization and industrialization, and new modes of communication and transportation were among a number of factors that altered the rural landscape, its inhabitants, and its occupations, transforming lifestyles and identities.
