| Publisher Description: The essays collected in this volume were selected from papers presented at a conference organized at the National University of Ireland, Galway in April 2004, on the subject of deceptive relationships in French and Francophone literature and visual culture. The collection examines specific representations and enactments of deception in French art and literature from the Middle Ages to the present. Divided into three thematic sections, the book begins by focusing on the role of distortion in art and literature, goes on to tackle the representation and practice of manipulation in certain works, and finally turns to the function of substitution in the construction and reception of artful deceptions.
