The Editorial Board of Nineteenth-Century French Studies is pleased to announce the publication of volume 50 numbers 1–2 (Fall–Winter 2021–22). In addition to an Incipit dialogue between Thomas C. Connolly and Liesl Yamaguchi on Stéphane Mallarmé's fleeting glimpse of a world without poetry, the issue includes a range of articles and reviews that highlight the breadth of the discipline: from female puberty, the art of the short story, monsters, the photographic nude, and fashion to culinary imagination, Latin Blackness, Haiti, the death penalty, horses, the omnibus, trans identity, and acrobats. As such, it continues the journal’s longstanding tradition of covering the full range of studies of nineteenth-century French literature and related fields.
A full table of contents is below and also online at www.ncfs-journal.org.
All of the journal’s book reviews from this volume are accessible online and without subscription. In addition, the web site offers complete archives of the journal’s publications since it began in 1972: table of contents from every issue, abstracts of all of the articles, and all of the book reviews published online. Finally, the web site also provides complete information about all aspects of the journal’s activities.
