Biography
Professor Green read English and French at Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle. She has taught at University College, Swansea (as Lecturer in French) and at Goldsmiths, University of London (as Lecturer, then Reader in French, and then as Professor of French and Comparative Literature). She is co-director of the Centre for Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Professor Green has research interests in C17 French comedy, notably Molière’s comédies-ballets, as well as early modern French and European festivals. More recently her research and publications have concentrated on the concepts of the dual royal body, the presentation of the self and bodily performance. She is currently working on a companion piece to her monograph on Louis XIII, provisionally entitled Montrer la reine: Anne d’Autriche, une infante sur le trône de France.
