Book Description
Par une froide et humide matinŽe de novembre, une pauvre femme, misŽrablement v�tue, Žtait assise aupr�s du lit de son enfant malade. On Žtait en 1818; l'annŽe avait ŽtŽ rude, la guerre civile avait ensanglantŽ les rues de Paris: Georges, le mari de Madeleine (c'Žtait le nom de la pauvre femme), avait ŽtŽ tuŽ derri�re une barricade, o� il dŽfendait l'Žmeute en croyant dŽfendre ses droits. Depuis cette mort fatale, la mis�re et l'abandon Žtaient entrŽs dans une famille que soutenait jusque-lˆ le travail de son chef; c'Žtait ˆ grand'peine que Madeleine avait pu louer une chambre au sixi�me Žtage dans une maison de la rue du Helder. Elle Žtait blanchisseuse en dentelles; pour garder ses pratiques, il lui fallait habiter un quartier o� tout Žtait cher; elle s'Žtait donc rŽsignŽe ˆ quitter le faubourg o� on l'avait mariŽe, o� elle avait perdu son cher Georges. En temps de rŽvolution, par malheur, on ne fait gu�re de toilette; l'ouvrage Žtait rare, dŽjˆ Madeleine Žtait en arri�re avec tous ses fournisseurs. Le boulanger avait annoncŽ qu'il arr�tait son crŽdit. Madeleine touchait au moment fatal qui perd les malheureux et fait d'une ouvri�re honn�te une mendiante, que dŽgraderont bient™t la faim et le dŽsespoir. Elle Žtait lˆ, les yeux rougis par les veilles et les larmes, regardant sa fille rongŽe par la fi�vre, cherchant en vain dans sa pensŽe comment elle trouverait pour le lendemain du travail et du pain, quand une main hardie tourna la clef de la porte et fit tressaillir la m�re et l'enfant.

Book Description
The studies contained in this volume arose over the last thirty years. Originally the range of the materials I intended to include in my selection was very much wider. Publishing difficulties, however, have obliged me to curtail them to something less than half the planned content. At first I intended to include all the studies I supposed might be of interest to readers and represent contributi ons still of some significance for research in this domain of Oriental scholarship. When the necessity arose to limit the contents I gave preference to the standpoint of thematic completeness rather than to what would be of interest to the general reader. Thus in this volume I have confined myself to two them atic fields only-Old Chinese literature and studies dealing with mediaeval storytellers' productions-hua-pen. I have excluded the whole complex of historical studies and all studies relating to the new literature. I am now preparing, on the principal historical theme on which I was engaged already in the period of my studies in Prague under Prof. J. Bidlo, and then in 1928 till 1930, with Prof. B. Karlgren in Sweden and Prof. G. Haloun in Halle, in Germany, a more compendious study in which I hope to sum up the results of my research, and I also intend to publish a volume of selected studies dealing with the New Chinese literature at some later date.

Book Description
It is a common belief that in France the study of medieval literature as literature only began to gain recognition as a valid occupation for the scholar during the nineteenth century. It is well known that historians of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries looked to the literary productions of the Middle Ages for materials useful to their researches, but it is only recently that the remarkable frequency of this reference has been appreciated and that scholars have become aware of an unbroken tradition of what might best be described as historically ori ented medievalism stretching from the sixteenth century to our own. The eighteenth century has drawn the greatest number of curious to this field, for it is evident that the surprisingly extensive researches undertaken then do much to explain the progress made a century later by the most celebrated generation of medievalistst. Very slowly we are coming to see the value of the contribution made by little known schol ars like La Curne de Sainte-Palaye, Etienne Barbazan and the Comte de Caylus.
