Dear colleague,
Since the publication of the four-volume Histoire de l'�dition fran�aise
(1983-86), a variety of research projects has led to the publication of
regional or national histories of publishing. Soon it will be time to take
stock of results thus far achieved on a world-wide scale; in other words, to
make a general, if provisional, survey. Thanks to such a survey, scholars
will have a better chance of avoiding errors in perspective, and the
research projects they have already launched stand to gain from a more
comprehensive view of results so far obtained. For these reasons, the
Universit� de Sherbrooke's Groupe de recherche sur l'�dition litt�raire au
Qu�bec has established cooperative links with the Centre d'histoire
culturelle of the Universit� de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, the
aim being to organize an international colloquium on comparative history to
be held in May 2000. Five major themes have been agreed upon: altogether
they cover the period running from the mid-18th century to the end of the 20th.
We have put together a preliminary agenda that we hope will elicit your
suggestions concerning relatively unexplored research areas, principally
India, Asia, and Africa. These suggestions will be most welcome. We rely on
them to help us perfect the colloquium agenda.
Would you kindly inform either Jacques Michon or Jean-Yves Mollier as soon
as possible of your interest in this projected conference. And perhaps you
may wish to cooperate in some more tangible way.
Sincerely yours,
Jacques Michon

Cher (e) coll�gue,
Depuis la publication des quatre volumes de L'Histoire de l'�dition
fran�aise (1983-1986), les projets et publications d'histoires r�gionales ou
nationales de l'�dition se sont multipli�s. L'heure d'une premi�re synth�se
mondiale, provisoire, approche. Elle devrait permettre d'�viter les erreurs
de perspective et enrichir les recherches en cours. C'est pourquoi le Groupe
de recherche sur l'�dition litt�raire au Qu�bec de l'Universit� de
Sherbrooke et le Centre d'histoire culturelle de l'Universit� de Versailles
Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines ont pris l'initative d'organiser en mai 2000 un
colloque international d'histoire compar�e. Cinq th�mes ont �t� retenus,
destin�s � couvrir la p�riode qui court du milieu du XVIIIe si�cle � la fin
du XXe si�cle.
L'avant-projet que nous vous soumettons est destin� � susciter des
recherches sp�cifiques dans les espaces encore peu travaill�s : Inde, Asie,
Afriquc notamment. Vos suggestions seront les bienvenues et serviront �
affiner ce programme.
Nous vous demandons de confirmer votre accord ou d'indiquer des
collaborations possibles en vous adressant � Jacques Michon ou � Jean-Yves
Mollier.
Dans l'attente, de vous lire, nous vous prions de croire, Cher(e) Coll�gue,
� l'expression de nos sentiments les plus cordiaux.
