French Poetry & Prose
BU has a longstanding tradition of providing resources in specialized areas of language and literature to a growing audience. The Geddes collection in French Poetry and Prose is no exception, featuring readings by native speakers over the past five decades. In some cases the original author’s voice can be heard. We are pleased to now offer digital versions of selected titles from this collection that were previously only available on cassette or reel to reel tape.
Contact the lab for additional details (poem lists, counter numbers) on select titles.
