It is an annotated, not a critical bibliography, and while no capsular form can do justice to a scholarly work, it is hoped that the reader can decide on the basis of the annotation whether or not the work is of interest or is relevant to their research.

This book covers the authors and their works, literary movements, and philosophical and social developments that have had a direct impact on style or content, and major historical events such as the two world wars, the Franco-Prussian War, the Algerian War, or the events of May 1968 that are directly reflected in a substantial body of imaginative writing. Historical Dictionary of French Literature, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography.
