The volume' s editors have paid meticulous attention to presenting and framing the material. . . . The eleven translated essays offer a fascinating glimpse of the objects of study." (Romanic Review)
"This handsome volume gathers together eleven essays, none previously translated, of what is called la critique génétique (or genetic criticism) for an Anglo-American audience. . . .
