Special Collections recently welcomed students from Professor Chloe Hogg’s “Global French.” Professor Hogg introduced students to volumes of the 1780 edition of Guillaume-Thomas Raynal’s Histoire Philosophique et Politique, various maps, and editions of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre’s Paul et Virginie.
Students especially enjoyed this fore-edge painting from the 1799 edition of Paul et Virginie:
