Liberte', Fide'lite', Curiosite' is the motto of France's oldest publishing house, E'ditions Stock, which was founded in 1708. From 1921 onwards, the house began focusing on foreign literature. The history of E'ditions Stock is at the centre of this thesis as a framework for the analysis of the development and impact of la diversite' in French literature. This thesis defends the claim that the editors of E'ditions Stock had progressive motivations, that they challenged the standard of established publishing houses of the time and encouraged new authors from different backgrounds who would write new books exploring diverse themes. As a result of these motivations, E'ditions Stock contributed extensively to the development of la diversite' in French literature. E'ditions Stock's archival material, held at the Institut Me'moires de l'e'dition contemporaire (IMEC) at the Abbaye D'Ardenne in Caen will be analysed alongside the books published by E'ditions Stock between 1921 and 2021. There is also a more recent archive kept by the publishing house in Paris. This thesis adopts the distant reading method of Dr Franco Moretti. It examines the interior and exterior lives of the books published by E'ditions Stock using graphs, maps and tree diagrams. The distant reading approach lends itself to tracing cross-cultural, cross-border, e'migre' literary phenomena. Quantitative methods measure the scale of phenomena, which will be interpreted alongside literary, historical, political and sociological trends. A close reading of one or two authors and novels would, by its individualistic nature, fail to represent la diversite'. The final chapter acknowledges the limitations of distant reading and introduces one qualitative approach which still avoids a close reading of texts - interviews with a variety of authors published by E'ditions Stock. There has been no scholarly work using Moretti's approach to engage with la diversite' in twentieth-century French literature around the corpus of a publishing house. Dr Gise'le Sapiro has used a mixed methodology approach but her work explores the relationship between French literature and US publishing houses or translation. There is a history of E'ditions Stock and of French publishing houses in general, but nothing which analyses the decisions of E'ditions Stock in any depth. There have been studies on the relationship between the French publishing industry and cultural diversity but these are based on broad statistics of the industry as a whole and do not delve into the interior lives of books. This is a new and original study.The introduction outlines the purpose and motivations of the thesis. The first chapter analytically explores the role of E'ditions Stock, its editors, readership, authors and the standard of literary dissemination that it purported to challenge. The second chapter focuses on the exterior and interior lives of the books. This could include a quantitative study of titles, marketing and cover art. The third chapter considers aspects of the history of the book, the role of the publishing house as a mediator and E'ditions Stock's relationship to prize ceremonies. The fourth chapter acknowledges the limits of Moretti's theory and introduces a qualitative research method - interviews with a wide selection of E'ditions Stock's authors. The conclusion summarises the results of the study and the effects of introducing a qualitative aspect to Moretti's theory. It visually maps how one small French institution came to dominate foreign literature and bring that diversity to France. To date, I have been in contact with Dr Franco Moretti via email and will also be travelling to Stanford in September to discuss my methodology with him. I have begun reading some of the books published by Éditions Stock to look for common themes to quantitatively map. I have been reading introductory books to the literature and culture of twentieth-century France.

“Liberte”、“Fide”lite、“Curiosite”是法国最古老的出版社 E'ditions Stock 的座右铭，该出版社成立于 1708 年。从 1921 年起，该出版社开始专注于外国文学。 E'ditions Stock 的历史是。作为分析法国文学中“la diversite”的发展和影响的框架，本文的核心是《E'ditions Stock》的编辑们具有进步性。他们挑战了当时成熟出版社的标准，并鼓励来自不同背景的新作者撰写探索不同主题的新书。由于这些动机，E'ditions Stock 为 la diversite' 的发展做出了广泛的贡献。在法国文学中，E'ditions Stock 的档案材料保存在卡昂阿登修道院 (Abbaye D'Ardenne) 的当代记忆研究所 (IMEC)。与 E'ditions Stock 1921 年至 2021 年间出版的书籍一起。还有巴黎出版社保存的最新档案。这篇论文采用了弗朗哥·莫雷蒂博士的远距离阅读方法，探讨了室内和室外的生活。 E'ditions Stock 出版的书籍使用图表、地图和树形图，远程阅读方法适合追踪跨文化、跨境、移民的文学现象。将与文学、历史、政治和社会学趋势一起进行解释，因为其个人主义性质，对一两个作家和小说的仔细阅读无法代表“多样性”。仍然避免仔细阅读文本的定性方法——对 E'ditions Stock 出版的多位作者的访谈 目前还没有任何学术著作使用莫雷蒂的方法来围绕语料库来研究二十世纪法国文学中的“多样性”。出版Gise'le Sapiro 博士使用了混合方法论，但她的作品探讨了法国文学与美国出版社或翻译之间的关系。 E'ditions Stock 和法国出版社都有历史，但没有任何分析。 E'ditions Stock 的决定有很多关于法国出版业和文化多样性之间关系的研究，但这些研究都是基于整个行业的广泛统计数据，并没有深入研究书籍的内部生活。这是一项新颖的、原创的研究。引言第一章概述了论文的目的和动机，分析性地探讨了《E'ditions Stock》的角色、它的编辑、读者、作者以及它所要挑战的文学传播标准。这可能包括对书名、营销和封面艺术的研究。第四章考虑了书籍历史的各个方面、出版社作为调解者的角色以及 E'ditions Stock 与颁奖典礼的关系。本章承认莫雷蒂理论的局限性，并介绍了一种定性研究方法——对《斯托克版》的众多作者进行了访谈。结论总结了研究结果以及将定性方面引入莫雷蒂理论的效果。一家法国小型机构主导了外国文学，并将这种多样性带到了法国。迄今为止，我一直通过电子邮件与弗朗哥·莫雷蒂博士保持联系，并将于九月份前往斯坦福大学与他讨论我已经开始阅读的方法论。一些我一直在阅读二十世纪法国文学和文化的入门书籍。
