Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures

Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures (PSRL) publishes books on topics of literary importance that make a significant contribution to Romance scholarship. Studies are written in English, Spanish, or French and deal with topics in French, Italian, Luso-Brazilian, Spanish, and Spanish American literatures. Scholars have told us that they use PSRL books in their own research and in graduate courses and seminars. The books in the series cover a wide range of topics, including the comedia, seventeenth-century French literature, Italian and Latin American works, women's issues, and textual interpretation. 

PSRL books are evaluated, edited, and prepared in electronic form in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Purdue and published and distributed by Purdue University Press. More information can be found at the series website.
