État présent: The study of seventeenth-century French literature in North America

This État présent constitutes a critical survey of books written in seventeenth-century French studies by North American scholars from 2010 to 2016. The bibliography is tightly circumscribed and critically selective, with the aim of bringing notable recent books to the attention of scholars, teachers, and students worldwide. A subsection includes notable scholarly editions and translations. The field has evolved over recent decades in interdisciplinary directions, and the categories we have chosen both reflect these intellectual reconfigurations (e.g., Travel and Empire) while also maintaining some of the more traditional areas of focus (e.g., Theater).
