Nous avons le plaisir de vous informer que la Bibliothèque nationale vous offre l’accès à l’essai jusqu’au le 15 Novembre 2023 à une nouvelle ressource numérique : « Publications Romanes et Françaises » de l’éditeur DROZ. Cette collection contient plus de 190 volumes d’éditions critiques, d’études et de glossaires sur la littérature et la culture française médiévale et moderne (« Frühe Neuzeit »).

La collection « Publications Romanes et Françaises » a été fondée en 1928 par le philologue suisse Gustave Lanson. Depuis lors, la série a été poursuivie par d’éminents chercheurs tels que Mario Roques, Jean Frappier, Alexandre Micha et Gaston Zink. La série couvre un large éventail de sujets et de genres, de la poésie épique et du roman à la satire et à l’hagiographie, du Moyen Âge à la Renaissance.

La ressource fournit du matériel académique de haute qualité pour les chercheurs, les étudiants et les enseignants qui s’intéressent à la littérature et à la culture françaises. Vous pouvez accéder aux textes intégraux de tous les volumes, ainsi que de les rechercher, parcourir et télécharger. Vous pouvez également consulter les manuscrits originaux et les illustrations qui accompagnent certaines éditions.

Vous devez disposer d’une carte de lecteur valable de la Bibliothèque nationale pour pouvoir accéder au contenu.

Voici quelques exemples d’ouvrages remarquables de la collection :

« La Chanson de geste : essai sur l’art épique des jongleurs » de Jean Rychner. Il s’agit d’une étude classique sur la poésie du Moyen Âge, qui explore ses origines, ses formes, ses thèmes et ses techniques. (1)

Le Dossier d’ « Alcools » : édition annotée des préoriginales avec une introduction et des documents par Michel Décaudin. Il s’agit d’une édition critique des brouillons et manuscrits d’Alcools, le célèbre recueil de poèmes de Guillaume Apollinaire. (2)

 « La Veuve en majesté : deuil et savoir au féminin dans la littérature médiévale » par Yasmina Foehr-Janssens. Il s’agit d’une étude fascinante sur la figure de la veuve dans la littérature médiévale, en tant que symbole de l’autorité, de la sagesse et de la spiritualité féminines. Elle analyse comment le deuil de la veuve était à la fois une contrainte sociale et une source d’autonomisation pour les femmes écrivains et lectrices. (3)

Open Access Publishing: National Library of Luxembourg signs transformative agreement with Cambridge University Press

The National Library of Luxembourg (BnL) and Cambridge University Press have signed a three-year transformative agreement, which provides access to content from academic journals and covers the cost of open access publishing, signaling a significant step forward in the world of Open Access Publishing.

The agreement, which takes effect immediately, enables researchers and authors from the Consortium Luxembourg (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, Luxembourg Institute of Health, National Library of Luxembourg, Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for International, European and Regulatory Procedural Law) to publish their research in Cambridge University Press’s prestigious academic journals under open access principles, without being charged with additional publishing fees.

This will not only help in promoting the visibility of the research and academic community of Luxembourg on the global stage, but also provide greater access to the latest research findings.

The transformative agreement marks an important milestone in the Consortium’s efforts together with the participating institutions to expand access to scholarly information. By working with Cambridge University Press, the National Library of Luxembourg hopes to advance its mission to support research, innovation and education in Luxembourg and beyond.

In the same vein, the BnL has already signed an agreement with Taylor & Francis Group in 2021.
