French

Melanie Collado

Beth Gerwin

My main field of research is literature of the French nineteenth century, particularly the first half. This includes movements such as: romanticism, idealism and realism. I work on the evolution of the novel and the short story (i.e. prose rather than poetry). My main authors include: Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, and George Sand. My approach to literature is shaped by literary theory and philosophy. In particular, I am interested in questions of identity, and of how literature helps us to establish or question identity. In this area, I work on: psychoanalysis, feminist theories (particularly French feminism), phenomenology and idealism, and deconstruction.
