Professor of History Christine Adams published an article in French Historical Studies, Vol. 48 (4), published by Duke University Press. The article, “Reconstructing the 1790s in Literature and Theater: The (Re)Invention of the Merveilleuses Under the Second Empire and Third Republic,” draws upon research that Adams has undertaken as she works on a larger book project, titled “The Merveilleuses and their Impact on the French Historical Imaginary, 1794-1799 and Beyond." An abstract of the article is available at the Duke University Press website.
In 2020, Adams published with co-author and sister Tracy Adams “The Creation of the French Royal Mistress: From Agnès Sorrel to Madame DuBarry” (Pennsylvania State University Press). Adams was a 2020–21 fellow with the American Council of Learned Societies and a 2021 Andrew W. Mellon fellow at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois.
