Since 1973 the French Literature Series has been published in conjunction with the annual French Literature Conference , sponsored by the French Program in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, USA. In addition to the scholarly papers selected for publication by the Editorial Board, it also accepts notes on the conference topic.
The essays appearing in the French Literature Series are drawn primarily from the Conference papers. Authors are informed of the inclusion of their papers in the volume when their papers are accepted for the Conference. Exceptionally, FLS does publish outstanding contributions from authors not participating in the Conference. Such essays to be considered for inclusion in the volume should not exceed twenty typed pages. An FLS style sheet is available upon request.

All communications concerning the Conference should be addressed to the Conference Director, and those concerning the French Literature Series to James Day, Editor, Department of Languages, Literatures & Cultures, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, 29208, USA.
