Nearly 3,000 texts, ranging from classic works of French literature to various kinds of non-fiction prose and technical writing.
At present, ARTFL's main corpus, ARTFL-FRANTEXT, consists of nearly 3,000 texts, ranging from classic works of French literature to various kinds of non-fiction prose and technical writing. The eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries are about equally represented, with a smaller selection of seventeenth century texts as well as some medieval and Renaissance texts. Genres include novels, verse, theater, journalism, essays, correspondence, and treatises. Subjects include literary criticism, biology, history, economics, and philosophy. In most cases standard scholarly editions were used in converting the text into machine-readable form, and the data contain page references to these editions. The FRANTEXT corpus is updated as new high-quality digital texts become available.
The EncyclopŽdie ou Dictionnaire raisonnŽ des sciences, des arts et des mŽtiers, par une SociŽtŽ de Gens de lettres was published under the direction of Diderot, with 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates between 1751 and 1772. Containing 72,000 articles written by more than 140 contributors, the EncyclopŽdie was a massive reference work for the arts and sciences, as well as a machine de guerre which served to propagate the ideas of the French Enlightment. The impact of the EncyclopŽdie was enormous. Through its attempt to classify learning and to open all domains of human activity to its readers, the EncyclopŽdie gave expression to many of the most important intellectual and social developments of its time.
