Autorenporträt

Dorothea Kullmann taught at Gottingen, Heidelberg, and Avignon before becoming an Associate Professor in French and Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto in 2005. She is the author of Verwandtschaft in epischer Dichtung (1992), and Description. Theorie und Praxis der Beschreibung im franzosischen Roman von Chateaubriand bis Zola (2004), and has published numerous articles ? and edited several volumes ? on medieval and modern Romance literatures. A specialist of Old French and Old Occitan epic, she is also interested in vernacular religious literature, in the classical tradition, and in the interaction between languages in the Middle Ages, as well as in diachronic linguistics and historical narratology. She currently leads the SSHRC project Livres d'heures: textes et langue. Anthony Fredette recently completed a doctorate at the University of Toronto's Centre for Medieval Studies. His thesis, under the direction of Dorothea Kullmann, studies the ways in which medieval authors writing in French, Occitan, and Latin made use of Statius' Thebaid, often through the intermediary of Latin commentary. The various versions of the Old French Roman de Thebes are a special focus of this study. He is currently teaching Latin while involved in ongoing projects editing medieval commentaries on classical authors.
