Reviews

"Excellent choice of authors."--Vivian A. Brown, Morehouse College
"Sensitively chosen passages with helpful and stimulating introductions which appeal to students. Tome I and II provide a comprehensive baggage of materials for the beginning French major."--Maria Mocuta, Wheaton College
"Good selections. I like the fact that complete works and lengthy excerpts are used, rather than short excerpts."--M. Wesolowski, St. Mary's College
"The two-volume anthology of French literature by Clouard and Leggewie has by now become a venerable institution in many French departments across the country, and for good reason. Its wide-ranging variety of literary genres includes samplings from most of the canonic 'great writers/great texts' from the Middle Ages to the early 1960s."--French Review
