L'Esprit Gaulois Dans La Littérature Française, a lecture delivered in Zurich in 1885 by Théophile Droz, explores the enduring influence of the 'Gaulish spirit' on French literature. Droz delves into the historical and cultural roots of French identity, tracing how the characteristics and values attributed to the ancient Gauls have manifested in the works of French authors. This insightful conference offers a fascinating perspective on the development of French literary tradition, examining the ways in which national identity and cultural heritage are reflected and reinterpreted through literature.

This work offers valuable insights into 19th-century perspectives on French national character and the relationship between history, culture, and literary expression.
