| Abstract |
An initial survey I undertook for the Transnational Network for the Study of Foreign Language Press (Transfopress) showed that, during the nineteenth century, over a hundred periodicals written in French (or, at least, also in French) were printed and circulated in the United Kingdom. Occupying a grey area between two monumental national presses, many of these frequently short-lived French-language papers are often understudied, endangered, or even lost, despite the fact that some of them played a crucial role in the cultural mediation between the two countries. Recently, however, this neglected area of research is gaining deserved attention. Harry Cockerham’s self-published critical anthology of editorials putatively authored by Constantin Guys is a useful addition to this field of enquiry, and a valuable resource for scholars of the nineteenth century, especially those interested in Franco-British relations.
