Bibliographical Note.--The best translations of Anatole France in English are all published by the John Lane Co., in a series of about thirty volumes, which now includes practically all of his important works. Notable among these is a translation of (The Crime of Sylvester Bonnard, ) an early work by Lafcadio Hearn done while he was in America. There are essays on Anatole France by A. Thorold, in (Six Masters of Disillusion, ) Diitton, 1909; Winifred Stephens, (French Novelists of To-day, ) Lane, 1908; James Huneker, (Egoists, ) Scribners, 1909; Brander Matthews, (Gateways to Literature, ) 1912; and Bradford Torrey, (Friends on the Shelf, ) Houghton, Mifflin Co., 1906. There are two volumes on his work available in English: George Brandes, Anatole France, McClure, (Contemporary Men of Letters Series, ) 1908; W. L. George, Anatole France, Henry Holt & Co., (Writers of To-day, ) 1915. Both of these are hardly more than extended essays, but excellent. The most important full studies are: G. Michaut, (Anatole France, etude psychologique, ) Paris, 1913; and a volume by Professor L. Piaget Shanks of the University of Pennsylvania, soon to be published. See also: C. H. C. Wright (History of French Literature); Stapfer, ( Humour et Humoristes, ) Paris, 1916; Andrew Lang, in the Fortnightly Review, June, 1908 (on the (Life of Joan of Arc)); Professor H. S.
