- Research Interests: 17th- and 18th-century French theater
Taking the tragic theater of the 17th-century playwright Jean Racine as a point of departure, my dissertation explores the modes of expression, linguistic and otherwise (narrative, visual, gestural, musical), employed by Racine, analyzing his aesthetic within the context of his 18th-century critical reception. Through this analysis, we can better understand Racine's ambiguous reception during this time period, as well as explore changes in dramatic aesthetics from the 17th to 18th centuries, and finally evaluate changing attitudes surrounding notions of authorship and originality, language and rhetoric, throughout the Enlightenment.
