We are very thankful to Professor Jeffery M. Leichman who graciously agreed to answer our questions on his approach to literary texts. He is an Assitant Professor at Lousiana State University. His research focuses on French-language theatre from the seventeenth through the twenty-first centuries, with a special emphasis on the legacy of the Enlightenment in contemporary performance culture. He recently published Acting Up: Staging the Subject in Enlightenment France (Bucknell University Press, 2015).
Please join me in congratulating John D. Lyons on his forthcoming edited volume, The Cambridge Companion to French Literature.
The volume features three chapters on the 17th century:
Michael Moriarty, "Varieties of doubt in early modern writing
Elizabeth Goldsmith, "Galant Culture"
John Lyons, "Tragedy and fear"

La querelle des Anciens et des Modernes n’agite pas seulement les gens de lettres et les artistes mais convoque aussi les savants (médecins, physiologistes, naturalistes, mathématiciens, physiciens, astronomes...). Une part importante des écrits produits par les acteurs et les témoins de cette Bataille des livres, comme l’appellent les Anglais, a trait aux sciences, et particulièrement aux sciences de la vie, que la figure de Harvey incarne par excellence pour les contemporains.

Some of you may already know this, but this OWL (Online Writing Lab) at Purdue has excellent worksheets to teach close reading, strong thesis-writing, citation, and more. While they are designed for English language writers, many of the techniques can be clearly adapted to French literature.

L’usage historique et social du vêtement à travers couvre-chefs, gilets brodés et autres costumes et parures est inséparable des exigences de la mode ainsi que des rhétoriques et sémiologies de la construction vestimentaire dont La Bruyère fut, entre autres, un brillant lecteur. Parce que le texte est étymologiquement un tissu, représenter un vêtement est aussi toujours une manière de parler du texte littéraire lui-même.

Lorsque Descartes fait de la connaissance de l'esprit humain la principale tâche de la philosophie, il lui applique l'idée moderne de la science comme connaissance certaine et évidente. Durant les 150 ans qui suivront, aucun penseur ne reniera cette étincelle cartésienne. Dans son sillage mais aussi contre elle, dans le ciel de la philosophie apparaît une constellation de penseurs de premier ordre : Pascal, Hobbes, Spinoza, Malebranche, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume.
