The anthology is the stepchild among textbooks; disliked by everybody, it must nevertheless be endured. This anthology consists of complete representative classics of French literature from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, with a liberal selection from other important works which could not be reprinted in full. Intended for undergraduates, these volumes provide scholarly texts based on the most authoritative editions of the works, with modernized spelling, and footnotes for terms, phrases, persons, and incidents that require clarification. This should help students to approach the texts with greater understanding, therefore increasing appreciation for the literary excellence and enduring prestige of these texts in French letters.

French Vocal Literature: Repertoire in Context introduces singers to the history and performance concerns of a vast body of French songs from the twelfth century to the present, focusing on works for solo voice or small vocal ensembles with piano or organ accompaniment, suitable for recitals, concerts, and church performances. Georgine Resick presents vocal repertoire within the context of trends and movements of other artistic disciplines, such as poetry, literature, dance, painting, and decorative arts, as well as political and social currents pertinent to musical evolution. Developments in French style and genre—and comparisons among individual composers and national styles—are traced through a network of musical influence. French Vocal Literature is ideally suited for voice teachers and coaches as well as student and professional performers. The companion website, frenchvocalliterature.com, provides publication information, a discography, links to online recordings and scores, a chronology of events pertinent to music, a genealogy of royal dynasties, and a list of governmental regimes.
