Sonya Stephens's History of Women 's Writing in France, a volume in the Cambridge series of national histories, follows a straightforward chronological track and sets aside feminist challenges to periodization, movements, or the canonization of male authors.

Unlike Santanu Das, however, she has little to say about touch and feelings. She slips past Pippin’s wry humour and detects protest rather than philosophical reflections. Her main thesis is that narrative understatement is not stoic but a form of resistance to ‘voyeuristic’ white audiences who wish to appropriate black experiences (pp. 7, 199, 202). Slips in her analyses doubtless reflect her training as an art historian rather than a historian. Thus, she applies ‘No Man’s Land’ to trenches and to reserve camps (p. 218); she dates to summer 1918 military preparations for the French assault in the Argonne, September 26–27, 1918 (p. 82). Similarly, Bernier accepts that Pippin’s bas-relief painting, The Ending of the War: Starting Home (1930–1933), represents the Armistice (which he had not witnessed). Clearly, however, the famous image of surrendering German soldiers who seem to spill towards us over a sculpted frame echoes a scene Pippin experienced, when the 369th under the command of General Gouraud participated in a rolling barrage near Séchault, in which 500 prisoners were taken. As Pippin wrote in his Autobiography, ‘Prisners were comeing throu our line. Goeine Back and every one were happy. That they were out of it. For they knew that, they would see home a gan some time’ (Pippin, ‘Autobiography’ [excerpt from ms p. 50], in World War I and America, Told by the Americans Who Lived It, ed. A. Scott Berg, New York: Library of America, 2017, p. 27). This response to the feelings of the Germans speaks to the complexity of Pippin’s insights and his profoundly antiwar sentiments. Margaret R.

When I was growing up, we were four girls, close in age, a female community somewhat like that of Little Women. Afternoons (that is, I suppose, after homework), we helped prepare supper-patting dry the ingredients for boeuf bourgignon, or chopping nuts for apfelkuchen, linzertorte, etc. We satiated ourselves on reading recipes. Only now-preparing this talk-do I understand how many of these recipes were born of ingenuity in response to wartime or postwar shortages, substituting dried eggs for fresh, for example; we made constant adjustments to the local conditions of the cupboard and icebox. Food was invested with the pleasures of sociability, with conversation, with stolen tastes, and with comparative sampling. At the table, however, a Calvinist spirit reigned: here the regime required at least one spoonful of everything such as eggplant or meat, and when it came to desserts, two was the limit. To be sure, this still left room for comparison: two linzertortes, one with raspberry, the other with apricot jam. But only two. Not one with raspberry and almond paste, another with raspberry and a teaspoon of cocoa in the dough, followed by apricot or orange-marmelade experi-
