My classes are designed to encourage students to look beyond what a text communicates overtly in the plot, focusing instead on how ideas are embedded and repeated as narrative patterns that are generally unconsciously produced by the author. Unearthing an author\u2019s implicit cultural biases enables us to learn more about the ways in which people related to the world around them during the time period in which the text was created.<\/p>\n<p>Before arriving at UNC-Charlotte, I taught at Bucknell University from 2002-2007.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Links<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/upress.blogs.bucknell.edu\/2014\/04\/18\/343\/\">Bucknell University Press Profile\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/news\/local\/community\/university-city\/article9095303.html\">Social Media had precedent in 17th century<\/a> (Charlotte Observer article)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/languages.uncc.edu\/news\/2016-08-04\/french-major-eileen-jakeway-wins-first-prize-charlotte-research-scholars-symposium\">French Major Eileen Jakeway Wins First Prize at the Charlotte Research Scholars Symposium\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/inside.uncc.edu\/news-features\/2017-03-01\/clas-professor-receives-prestigious-neh-fellowship\">CLAS Professor Receives Prestigious NEH Fellowship<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/securegrants.neh.gov\/publicquery\/main.aspx?f=1&amp;gn=FA-251391-17\">NEH Public Query Form<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><br \/>\nResearch and Teaching Interests<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Early Modern \/ early Enlightenment French literature<\/li>\n<li>Literature\u2019s role in creating Enlightenment Culture<\/li>\n<li>Experimental literature, particularly generic hybrids<\/li>\n<li>Intersections between literature, music and the fine arts in France and Italy<\/li>\n<li>Relationships between mental processes and physical symptoms during the early modern period<\/li>\n<li>Early Modern French Pilgrimage Practices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><br \/>\nBooks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>In Progress<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Imagining and Forgetting: The Mind-Body Connection in Early Modern France (1530-1750)<\/u><\/strong><em>\u00a0 \u00a0Project funded by an NEH faculty fellowship (spring-fall 2017) and by a Franklin Grant from the American Philosophical Society (summer 2013). <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In Print<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2012\/10\/StedmanBookCollage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-82\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2012\/10\/StedmanBookCollage-300x132.jpg\" alt=\"Books in Print\" width=\"580\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2012\/10\/StedmanBookCollage-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2012\/10\/StedmanBookCollage.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/9781649591067-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-116\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/9781649591067-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"174\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/9781649591067-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/9781649591067-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/9781649591067-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/9781649591067-2.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 174px) 100vw, 174px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/AisMS01b_couv.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-115\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/AisMS01b_couv-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/AisMS01b_couv-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/AisMS01b_couv-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/AisMS01b_couv-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/AisMS01b_couv-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/allison-stedman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/10\/AisMS01b_couv.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Henriette-Julie de Castelnau, comtesse de Murat, <em>Les Lutins du ch\u00e2teau de Kernosy<\/em><\/u><\/strong>.
