"Glanville Price's books on the grammar and history of the French language have been recognized as authoritative resources by generations of graduate students. The revised edition of his Introduction to French Pronunciation exhibits qualities that have contributed to the popularity of the work, especially comprehensibility and conciseness." The Modern Language Journal

Praise for Glanville Price's A Comprehensive French Grammar (Blackwell, 2003)...

"Remarkably comprehensive ... an essential grammar but good for a browse too. Conventional grammar and very much more is covered in meticulous detail." Times Education Supplement

"As a pedagogic grammar, it is remarkably reliable and complete, with two key elements: a good index and excellent cross-referencing. He pitches the explanations at a level which is useful from first to final-year undergraduate linguists." Journal of French Language Studies
