With six published volumes of La vie littéraire au Québec, three for the Histoire de l'édition littéraire au Québec au xxe siècle and three others for the Histoire du livre et de l'imprimé au Canada, not to mention the eight available volumes of the Dictionnaire des oeuvres littéraires du Québec and the Dictionnaire de la censure au Québec, the local production of books and print is impressive. Organized around teams formed in the province's major universities, notably, Laval, Montreal and Sherbrooke, research has expanded through its refusal to conform to a conventional definition of literature. Sensitive to the flourishing of writing in almanacs or in the press, in libraries or in popular circles, researchers have generated a wealth of approaches based on history or sociology and have thus helped renew literary studies in Quebec. Because they form an integral part of international research networks, book and print specialists have substantially increased the seminars and meetings that can shed new light on reading and writing practices. Whether it's detective fiction or Harlequin romances, best sellers or contemporary plays, all forms of cultural consumption retain the attention of Quebec researchers, which explains the broad diversity of the works reviewed here.
