French Studies

Aims & Scope

French Studies is published on behalf of the Society for French Studies by Oxford University Press.

It publishes articles and reviews spanning all areas of the subject, including language and linguistics (historical and contemporary), all periods and aspects of literature in France and the French-speaking world, thought and the history of ideas, cultural studies, film, and critical theory.

Since its first publication (in 1947), the journal has been a leading forum for the publication of ground-breaking work and for critical debate.

The current editors are Martin Crowley (General Editor); Emma Cayley, Emma Gilby, and Joseph Harris (Co-Editors).

Editorial responsibility for French Studies rests with the Editors and the Editorial Board (View full editorial board), assisted by the Advisory Board (View advisory board).

French Studies publishes about twenty articles per volume and its review section is unmatched in its breadth and its quality, providing prompt coverage of work published in French, English, German, and Italian.

We publish more than 250 reviews in each volume.

We also publish other types of article, including états présents outlining the current state of research on major authors or topics.

And we occasionally publish special issues of the journal, devoted to a particular topic or author.
