| Summary | "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'French Literature' to 'Frost, William'" is an extensive reference work compiled as part of a historical dictionary detailing arts, sciences, and literature. This edition likely originated in the late 19th century and serves as a comprehensive overview of French literary history, beginning from early manuscripts to significant figures and movements in French literature, including the chansons de geste and Arthurian romances. The primary focus is on the development of the French language as a medium of literary expression and its evolution in various forms and styles throughout the centuries. The opening of this comprehensive reference explores the roots of French literature, tracing its evolution from the 11th century forward. It discusses how Latin was initially the primary language for literary endeavors until the emergence of the French language, which quickly became established by the end of the 11th century. The text also delves into early narrative forms, particularly the rich tradition of chansons de geste, noting their structure, themes, and contributions to French literature as a whole. This historical context sets the stage for a deeper exploration of significant literary works, authors, and genres that followed, highlighting the integral role of these early developments in shaping the trajectory of French literature.
