Stewart reveals these countercurrents or repressive rhetorical strategies and situates them with respect to the broad thematics of each work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unc Department of Romance Studies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813673222295,"sku":"9780807892329","price":3145.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780807892329.webp?v=1778337591","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/half-told-tales-dilemmas-of-meaning-in-three-french-novels-9780807892329","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
