Extract from the magazine's statement of intent: "Les Écrits Français is, as the title indicates, a magazine of French expression. The contributors do not all profess the same literary opinions, they do not all share the same tendencies, but the taste for French culture and art unites them. [...] The diversity of our columns confirms our desire to follow contemporary developments in the many fields of art and thought. As attentive observers of the intellectual movement abroad, we will endeavor to provide our readers with substantial information, always from the French point of view. [...] "
