Okay,
Sorry I haven't been able to stir up much discussion on the current reading, I have been (and still am) busy preparing Vol. II of the reader, which we will be moving onto at the end of the month. This volume will be around 350 pages (!!!) long, and as you can see involves many more readings by twice as many different people as the volume we are currently on. Many of the readings are shorter and more targetted. There are many other differences as well, which I hope will make it a more comprehensive and suggestive glimpse into the complexity and diversity of French culture at the period.
I still have about 40 hours of formatting, copy-editing, image-selection, and writing of introductions and captions to do before the proof goes to the printer in one week, but this is the final Table of Contents for Vol. II, covering 1827-1847:
