Research Expertise
Description
My principal areas of research: Marc-Claude de Buttet (1529/31-1586); the Court of Savoy under Marguerite de France and Duke Emmanuel-Philibert; critical editions of early-modern French texts; religious and political conflict in Savoy; the French Renaissance Court; French Renaissance political poetry; the Savoyard archives (Turin; Geneva; Chambéry; Annecy; Paris); Franco-Irish cultural links. My research focus is constructed to combine historical, political and literary strands and relies heavily on access to rare primary sources in a variety of languages (French, Latin, Italian) in various European archives and libraries (Switzerland, Italy, France, Britain). Current research project (supported by funding from the ASSBF of the Faculty of Arts): religious dissent in early-modern Normandy with particular reference to archival sources, political-religious discourse, and rare editions of various works.Recognition
