Research Description

---

My research centers on the French experience of World War II and the wars of decolonization. I am currently translating the memoirs of a former French resistance fighter into English and doing research on Hélie de Saint Marc, a former "résistant" and captain in the French Foreign Legion during the French-Algerian War. I have also written books and articles on turn-of-the-century French poetry and culture, French 19th-century conceptions of genius and "poésie scientifique." In addition to students interested in these subjects, I would love to mentor students looking to do research into any aspect of 19th- and 20th-century French culture, history, arts, etc.
