Collection Description
The Library collects materials in all areas of French literature,
including literary criticism, philosophy, and theory. The Library
maintains a strong collection in all divisions of French literature,
from the medieval period to the present. The Library also collects
in the area of Francophone studies, including, but not limited
to, material about Africa, the Caribbean, Canada, and French-speaking
Europe. The Library collects few introductory language textbooks,
but does collect French language dictionaries and other language
reference material. The French collection is limited to materials
published in France. Materials on French subjects published outside
France are listed with their respective provenance.
French Studies reference materials are kept in the Reference Center
(Doe Library, Floor 2). The major part of the collection is located
in the Gardner (MAIN) Stacks, with additional materials in Moffitt
(UNDE, core English-language). Some materials, particularly in
the area of medieval literature, are housed in the Bancroft Library,
as are manuscript and archival collections.
