Dr Michael Hawcroft

I am Fellow and Tutor in French at Keble College. I work principally on seventeenth-century French drama: Corneille, Molière, Racine; rhetorical approaches; dramatic theory; developments in the printing of drama in the early modern period and attempts to accommodate the printed form to readers. I am currently working on the scenography of Molière: exits and entrances, on-stage movement, and their relationship to scenery, as well as the way in which these features of performance are evoked in printed form. My College webpage includes a list of publications.
