Special Note
The guides listed in the section Guides to French Literary Studies have not been updated to include the electronic information environment. These guides are still valuable because they list the structure of the scholarly literature. These guides also help to identify print only resources for historical research.
Up to date information on electronic access is included in the appropriate sections of this subject guide. For example, the section on bibliographies includes titles that are only available in print as well as titles that are also available in electronic format.
