This website provides a portal to two collections of resources for researchers interested in music criticism and in the more general musical culture of the nineteenth century in France.

• a repository of digitized, searchable reviews relating to French music and ballet in the nineteenth century. Texts are grouped into collections devoted to particular works, events, series, performers or authors, resulting in a significant corpus of texts never before available on open access.
• bibliographical resources, work in progress and information of a more general nature, contributed by members of the Network and mounted in the hope that users will contribute updates.

The project is managed by the joint directors of the former AHRC-funded Network in Francophone Music Criticism, 1789 - 1914, Katharine Ellis (University of Bristol/former Director, Institute of Musical Research) and Mark Everist (University of Southampton). It is hosted by the Institute of Musical Research, School of Advanced Study, University of London. 

We are an ever-expanding group of academics, librarians, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. We began with around 30 members and now number over 160. We run at least one international event per year. Meetings are routinely bilingual (French/English). The programme for the next event (July 2-3, 2013) is here. Anyone who would like to join the Network, via our e-discussion list, is very welcome to email katharine.ellis@sas.ac.uk. 

Following the expiry of its two-year AHRC award (2008), the Network has gained funding from various sources whose grants have enabled the creation of the web resource. To see a full list of funders, click here.
