An enumerated, comprehensive 12,087-item bibliography of publications on French language and literature with current prices is offered primarily for school and library use. In each of the eight major divisions the author is listed alphabetically with the exception of the Middle Ages, where literary genre classification is employed. The traditional, chronological division of literary periods by century is employed from the Middle Ages through the 20th century. Further subdivision in each century treats civilization, the arts, and literature, further subdivided into anthologies, critical essays and studies of literary history, and authors and their works. The first general chapter deals with civilization, the arts, literature (including bibliographies, dictionaries and encyclopedias, books and publishing, anthologies of literature, history of literature, and critical essays and studies of literary history), and miscellaneous topics related to philosophy and esthetics, pedagogy and teaching, folklore, and the press. The three part section on liguistics includes: (1) a bibliography and publications of congresses and learned societies, (2) general linguistics, and (3) material on the French language (history and usage, contemporary French, and learning French). An author and anonymous work index is followed by two lists of recordings indexed by author and subject. (RL)
