Research Interests
I work primarily on French nineteenth-century literature, particularly the writings of Balzac and Flaubert. My main interest is in representations of difference, and especially of gender and sexual difference. I am also interested in nineteenth-century continental philosophy (such as phenomenology) and literature, twentieth-century French literature (such as Marguerite Duras), twentieth-century literary theory, ethical philosophy, feminist theory, and theories of psychoanalysis.
