News from Nineteenth-Century French Studies: new web page and publication of 43.1–2 (Fall–Winter 2014–2015)

The Editorial Board of Nineteenth-Century French Studies is pleased to announce its new web pages, now available at: www.ncfs-journal.org, and the publication of volume 43 numbers 1 & 2 (Fall 2014–Winter 2015). From Nerval’s Chimère and Cros’s Obsession to Flaubert’s Veal and Odilon Redon’s (not Jay-Z’s) Black Album; from Empire seen in comics or censured to far-off travels to Louisiana, Italy, and (for five days) Clermont; and from adventures of the masculine body to female sexual pleasure: this issue 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 (link).

Visitors to www.ncfs-journal.org will discover a significant development: effective with the publication of 43.1–2, the entirety of the journal’s book review activity is available online. This recent issue and all of the journal’s online reviews (dating back to 2007) are accessible without subscription (link). NCFS book reviews meet the same standards and evaluation process that they have enjoyed for over forty years, and each printed issue of the journal will contain a thematic listing of the reviews received during the previous six months: Jan.–June for the fall–winter issue, July–Dec. for the spring–summer issue. Electronic delivery will not change the reviews’ tremendous value; they continue to provide a vital service to our field as they they demonstrate the full breadth of nineteenth-century French studies. We are excited to be able to provide free access to such important content.

In addition, the web site offers archives of the journal’s publications since it began in 1972: Table of Contents from every issue (link), abstracts of all of the articles (link), and all of the book reviews published online (link). Finally, the web site also provides complete information about subscriptions (link), about submitting articles (link) and book reviews (link), about the journal’s current Editorial (link) and Advisory Boards (link), and about the journal’s history (link).

Ever mindful of our role in the transmission and sharing of knowledge, we are pleased that these web pages have come to life thanks to collaboration between the journal’s Editorial Board and the Department of Computing Sciences at Villanova University. This site—very much like the journal itself—is the result of efforts from faculty and graduate students alike, within and across disciplines.

Bonne lecture et bonne visite,
