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.

“自由，诚信，高雅，好奇”是法国最古老的出版社，成立于1708年的股票出版社的座右铭。从1921年起，该学院开始专注于外国文学。Editions Stock的历史是本文的中心，作为分析法国文学中“la diversite”的发展和影响的框架。本文认为，Editions Stock的编辑具有进步的动机，他们挑战了当时出版社的标准，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，施托克出版社对法国文学中的多样化发展做出了广泛的贡献。Editions Stock的档案材料保存在卡昂Abbaye D 'Ardenne的Institut Me'moires de l 'e'dition contemporaire（IMEC），将与Editions Stock在1921年至2021年期间出版的书籍一起进行分析。巴黎的出版社还保存着一份更新的档案。本文采用了弗朗哥·莫雷蒂博士的远程阅读方法。它使用图表，地图和树形图来检查Editions Stock出版的书籍的内部和外部生活。远程阅读方法有助于追踪跨文化、跨国界、电子移民的文学现象。定量方法衡量现象的规模，并将与文学、历史、政治和社会学趋势一起解释。仔细阅读一两个作家和小说，由于其个人主义的性质，不能代表la diversite。最后一章承认远距离阅读的局限性，并介绍了一种定性的方法，仍然避免了近距离阅读的文本-采访了各种作者出版的版本股票。目前还没有一部学术著作使用莫雷蒂的方法，围绕出版社的语料库，研究20世纪法国文学中的“多样化”。Gise'le Sapiro博士使用了一种混合的方法论，但她的工作探讨了法国文学与美国出版社或翻译之间的关系。有一个历史的Editions股票和法国出版社一般，但没有任何分析的决定Editions股票在任何深度。关于法国出版业与文化多样性之间的关系已有研究，但这些研究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。这是一项新颖的研究，引言部分概述了本文的研究目的和动机。第一章分析了《出版社》的角色、编辑、读者、作者以及它所要挑战的文学传播标准。第二章着重论述了《红楼梦》的外在生活和内在生活。这可能包括一个定量研究的标题，营销和封面艺术。第三章考虑方面的历史，这本书的出版社作为一个调解人和版本股票的关系，颁奖典礼的作用。第四章承认了莫雷蒂理论的局限性，并介绍了一种定性研究方法--对斯托克出版社作者的广泛访谈。结论总结了研究结果和莫雷蒂的理论引入定性方面的影响。它直观地描绘了一个法国小机构如何主导外国文学并将这种多样性带到法国。到目前为止，我一直通过电子邮件与Franco Moretti博士保持联系，并将于9月前往斯坦福大学与他讨论我的方法。我已经开始阅读Editions Stock出版的一些书，以寻找共同的主题来定量映射。我一直在阅读介绍二十世纪法国文学和文化的书籍。
