  • From the Editor

A New Service from Nineteenth-Century French Studies

One of the important services Nineteenth-Century French Studies provides its readers is the extensive and varied book review section, overseen now by a separate Review Editor, Tim Raser. Tim's important work reflects the explosive growth in 19th-century French studies beyond the field of literature alone that has brought with it an ever-growing number of books sent to the journal for review. The down side of this otherwise excellent situation is that, try as we may, we are unable to keep pace with the robust rate of publication; too many books are not being reviewed.

In consultation with members of the Advisory Board, I have decided to put the journal's website to further use and offer a second group of reviews, to be published on-line. They will carry the electronic signature of Nineteenth-Century French Studies and will undergo the same evaluation as the reviews that will continue to be published in the journal.

These on-line reviews will be shorter than those appearing in the regular pages of Nineteenth-Century French Studies, and will be limited to a descriptive evaluation of the book under consideration. The advantage lies in bringing more scholarship to the attention of its intended readership. The books sent to reviewers will of course be theirs to keep.

This new service will be introduced in the fall of 2007. Please consult the journal website for further information and to learn how you can become a reviewer for NCFS. The invitation to review is warmly extended to graduate students as well as to senior scholars.
