  Unlike other French world's fairs, this one in particular also celebrated "rural life, regionalism, and folklore," which was seen as contradictory to the usual themes of modernization. This work looks in detail at those exhibits for insights into the French response to modernization and the effort to establish a new national identity. Illustrations, a bibliography, and an index are included.
