Associate Professor Francoise Grauby
The main focus of my research is nineteenth and twentieth century literature. I have worked on popular beliefs and medical discourses on the body in French literature and culture; on “autofiction” and Aids Literature (Hervé Guibert); on the representation of the artist from the nineteenth century to the present; on Comparative Literature in particular on the history of popular genres and Romanticism in Europe. I have published three books: La création mythique à l'époque du Symbolisme (1994), Le corps de l'artiste (2001), Le Roman de la création: Ecrire entre mythes et pratiques (Rodopi/Brill) (2015) (in press).
