Background and activities
I am Professor of French Literature and project leader of The Invention of the Lottery Fantasy, financed by the Research Council of Norway.
My primary research interests lie within eighteenth-century studies, particularly the history of the novel, travel writing and periodical studies, literary appropriation and rewriting, literature, gambling and economy. I also work on contemporary literature.
I am happy to supervise dissertations and theses within French literature of most genres and periods.
