The Editorial Board of Nineteenth-Century French Studies is pleased to announce the publication of volume 49 numbers 1–2 (Fall–Winter 2020-2021). In addition to four varia articles — about abjection in Ourika, botany and Baudelaire, rural life in Huysmans, and sonic violence in Zola — this issue features a special section entitled ‘Célébrités de Delille,’ edited and with an introduction by Hugues Marchal. With these articles and over twenty reviews, 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 at www.ncfs-journal.org.
All of the journal’s book reviews from this volume are accessible online and without subscription.
