- French 17th-Century Literature & Thought: Descartes, Molière, Literature & Science
Jean Luc Robin’s special field of research in French 17th-century literature and thought is interdisciplinary in approach. Focusing on Descartes and Molière, his research program addresses the relationships between literature and science during the scientific revolution and the contemporaneous emergence of classical literature in France. It also theorizes the philosophy of Molière from the perspective of dramaturgy.
Dr. Robin teaches at all levels of the French studies curriculum, and his graduate teaching expertise stretches from the Renaissance through the Enlightenment periods.
