Langlois is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work examines the moralists of the medieval period in France, particularly focusing on literature written in the vernacular from the 12th to the 14th centuries. It aims to shed light on the societal, moral, and intellectual conditions of the time through the lens of these moralistic writings, arguing against the notion that they are dull or unworthy of study. At the start of the text, the author discusses the motivation behind this new work, which complements his prior publication on French society as depicted in adventure novels. He addresses the importance of utilizing literary sources in historical analysis, arguing that they provide critical insights into the lives and thoughts of people from the past. The opening also highlights the distinction between original moralistic works and those that merely reiterate existing ideas, setting the stage for an analysis of selected texts and their authors that will follow in the book. Langlois indicates that he will present the perspectives of various moralists, illustrating the range of thought and style present in medieval French literature.
