Abstract
Far more books were produced in French by London booksellers than in any other foreign language between 1475 and 1900. This survey looks at the ranges of subject matter produced and their target audiences. It also discusses the production of legal texts in Anglo-Norman ‘law French’ in the period up to 1700 and the phenomenon of false imprints which makes evaluation of the 18th-century output more difficult. The study starts with Caxton, looks at religious texts, language books, science, official publications and news, as well as literary texts, and ends with an account of new developments in the 19th century
