academic
This is a title on a list of publications, the first of which was an "ouvrage de recherche". As I see it, the first entry was a research monograph, the second entry is an exegetic text (it appears to be an overview of Anne Banfield's work). I can't think of similar distinctions being made in an English context. Any ideas?

monograph

Note from asker:
| Thanks for this, I'm not quite happy that it is idiomatic though (the second example seems to be noun = verb?) I think I'll stick with just "monograph". |
