Biliana Kassabova

Biliana focuses on French literature and history of the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries. She has recently started working on her dissertation on representations of revolutions (or the lack thereof) in XIXth century French novels and the ways in which the presence of revolutionary action in novels reflects developing theories of revolution. She is also interested in changing discourses of commerce, particularly in the XVIIIth and early XIXth century. Biliana is the graduate student coordinator for the French Culture Workshop and the web manager of CMEMS. She is also part of the Mapping of the Republic of Letters, a collaborative digital humanities project.
