Jim | 16 comments Hi: The Goodreads entry for this book states that it is part of the series: "Cambridge Studies in Romanticism". However, that is not correct-- it is part of the "Cambridge Studies in French" series. This can actually be viewed on the book's cover image if you look at the top; it can also be confirmed on the publisher's website, and several other external sources.

I had previously made a request/suggestion that the erroneous series listing be corrected (see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...), but no change actually took place. (There was some back-and-forth discussion by librarians whether these were actually "series" or just "imprints" but this kind of trickled off and eventually nothing happened.)

I'm not entirely sure that I myself understand the distinction between a "series" and an "imprint" as defined on Goodreads. But either way-- this book is *NOT* part of the "Cambridge Studies in Romanticism" series/imprint-- it is part of "the Cambridge Studies in French" series/imprint. So it seems that some sort of correction to the listing is still merited so that the book is no longer listed as part of "Cambridge Studies in Romanticism".

Cambridge Studies in Romanticism is not a series by Goodreads standards, and has been deleted.
