Poemes, Pieces, Prose

Beautifully done! Good selections, extensive, broad coverage, interesting and valuable presentations. Nice textual analyses, stimulating questions and well-chosen, appropriate, attractive illustrations.
I have been using this text since it first appeared more than twenty years ago. Excellent choice of texts, background, and questions.
Nothing better
Very useful textbook to introduce students to the study of French literature. The questions after the texts are most helpful and thoroug.
A comprehensive text appropriate for an introduction to textual analysis, containing some good selections in all three genres.
Quite decent choice of texts....Introductions to writers are good.
I like the way the book is organized: biography, literary ideas, questions, introduction to the different genres.
An excellent text.
This is the best, perhaps the only, textbook for American students that truly teaches [them] how to approach French literature.
Introductory chapters and commentary are very useful....
