Research and Teaching
David Culpin specializes in the literature of ideas and the history of the book in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and is also interested in the reception of early-modern French texts in anglophone colonial contexts. He has published books on La Rochefoucauld, Perrault and Marivaux, and is currently writing a monograph on French moralists and travel writers of the first half of the eighteenth century. He teaches specialist undergraduate and postgraduate courses on a wide range of topics relating to the early modern period and the Enlightenment.
