Bio/Research
I received my PhD in French Literature from the University of Lyon 3 in 2006 and a Master in Classics from the University of Sorbonne Paris IV in 1994.
Prior to joining Laurier, I was a professeur agrégé in France (1996-2002), and an adjunct professor at the University of Waterloo (2006-2007).
My research focuses on the art and practice of letter writing in 17th century France, and its impact on the emergence of subjectivity in literature. I am particularly interested in the use of letters by women, at a time when they were struggling to make their way onto the public literary scene. I have published two monographs on the epistolary work of Madame de Sévigné (Champion 2009, Atlande 2012), as well as two editions of her selected letters (Folio classique 2012 and 2016) which contributed to renew the perception of a marginalized corpus.
I am currently working on the second SSHRC-funded research project on 17th century women epistolary practices. The current project, “L’épistolaire, voie d’accès des femmes à l’écriture”, includes a database on 17th century women epistolary writers.
