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.
