Dr Craig Moyes

Craig Moyes Contact: craig.moyes@kcl.ac.uk
 
Craig Moyes holds a DEA from the Université de Paris III and a PhD from the Université de Montréal. He was Director of Studies in French at Christ’s College, Cambridge before coming to King’s in 1999. His principal teaching and research interests are in 17th- and 18th-century French and Comparative literature, and in contemporary Québécois cinema and literature.
Craig Moyes is currently working on a book-length study of the literary city under Bourbon Absolutism. He was a member of the editorial board of the Canadian Journal of Rhetorical Studies, and is a contributing author to two new volumes on the French seventeenth century in the Dictionary of Literary Biography and the forthcoming Cambridge History of French Literature. Last year he was awarded a Faculty Enrichment Grant from the Canadian government in order to develop the department’s—and King’s—first course on Canadian literature.
 
He has most recently edited a special issue of Études françaises entitled, L’échelle des valeurs au XVIIe siècle : le commensurable et l’incommensurable.
