BIBLIOGRAPHY: LATE MEDIEVAL FRANCE

compiled by Dana L. Sample
Hampton University, Hampton, Virginia

The following is a bibliography of works about topics concerning France in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. I have made an effort to emphasize books and articles either written in or translated into English, but important sources in French have also been included. This is a work in progress, so I will be happy to consider additions to the bibliography if you e-mail your suggestions to me.
