Michael Lucey Associate Professor of French and Comparative Literature Professor Lucey specializes in French literature and culture of the 19th- and 20th-centuries. He also teaches social and literary theory, sexuality studies, 19th- and 20th-century British literature and culture, and 20th-century American literature and culture. He is currently completing two books: The Misfit of the Family: Balzac and the Social Forms of Sexuality, on the complex place sexuality holds in Balzac's understanding of the social world, and its relation to history, economics, law, and the family; and Never Say "I": Speaking for Queer Sexuality in Twentieth-Century French Literature, which traces the development across the 20th century of a variety of complicated strategies for saying "I" within a queer literary text. He is the author of Gide's Bent: Sexuality, Politics, and Writing. |
