About
My passion is the impact of the seventeenth-century fin-de-siecle on eighteenth-century ideas and material culture. Primary subjects of inquiry range from China in the French fairy tale and the French fairy tale in Britain, to the Encyclopedie's refinement of the artisan and Marie Antoinette's porcelain bol sein (breast bowl). Major scholarly and pedagogical interests include early modern performance, theater and pedagogy, and performance studies. Current publication projects: a monograph on the image of porcelain in the French Enlightenment, a co-edited volume of world folk- and fairy tales, and new translations of Charles Perrault's Mother Goose tales.
