<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font face="georgia, serif" color="#000000">The virtual issue includes four articles from
<i>French Studies, </i>the first of them a retrospective on Barthes
written by John Sturrock in 1981, with major subsequent contributions by
Johnnie Gratton, Michael Moriarty, and Peter Dayan. An <em>état présent</em> by
Claude Coste, due to appear in the July
2015 issue of the journal, will soon be added to the collection. You
will also find four shorter articles (one each by Peter Collier and
Diana Knight, and two by Nicholas de Villiers) that have been published
in <em>French Studies Bulletin</em>. Last, but
not least, there are no fewer than thirty reviews, dating from Jean Seznec's 1967 review of Raymond Picard's
<i>Nouvelle critique ou nouvelle imposture</i> through to the present day (four major books on or including Barthes were reviewed in
<i>French Studies</i> in 2014). Together with the articles and shorter
contributions, these reviews offer a fascinating overview of many years
of scholarship, and an insight into changing preoccupations. </font></div>
