Professor Maslan's work focuses primarily on literary and political cultures of early modern France. She is also interested in the problem of sexuality in revolutionary France, the dialectic of nationalism and universalism in early modern culture, and iconoclasm and anti-representationalism in early modern politics and theater. She is currently completing Revolutionary Acts: Theater, Democracy, and the French Revolution, which examines the centrality of theater in revolutionary culture. Her publications include "Resisting Representation: Theater and Democracy in Revolutionary France" in Representations 52 (1995), and "Femininité juive et le problème de la représentation dramatique au dix-septième siècle" in Papers on 17th Century French Literature, Biblio 17 (1999).
