The New Oxford Companion to Literature in French by Peter France
Containing more than 3000 entries, this volume is a guide not only to ten centuries of literature produced in the territory now called France, but also to the rich literary output of other French-speaking countries around the world.
A tour de force, a reliable work of reference, and an essential working tool* A 100 French Titles No. 4 *
Peter France's fine volume ... a remarkable and enduring work of great scholarly weight. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
the extended limits of its brief are glossed with admirable and disarming circumspection by the editor in his introduction ... It is the work of a distinguished team of contributors and, although the majority are geographically based in the Anglo-Saxon world, their familiarity with the French critical spectrum is manifested both textually and bibliographically ... this is a remarkable and enduring work of great scholarly weight ... there is at last an authoritative article to which we can refer colleagues from other disciplines in search of a summary of post-structuralism. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
Obviously more up to date, but above all far vaster in geographical and generic scope than the first Oxford Companion and as such a very welcome publication...as near indispensable as possible...recommend it one certainly should, and never without a murmur of gratitude and congratulations to Peter France * Forum for Modern Language Studies *
for the modest price of just £30, I can reach out expecting to find clearly written, expert (130 of them) and up-to-date articles on what I am looking for * Tony Callen, University of Portsmouth, Modern & Contemporary France 1996 *
