Biography
Reginald McGinnis is Associate Professor of French at the University of Arizona. His publications include a book on Baudelaire, La Prostitution sacrée (Paris: Belin, 1994), as well as articles in Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture, l’Atelier du roman, PO&SIE, Cahiers de l’Herne and the Romanic Review.
"The range of authors, artists, and works addressed in these essays remains genuinely impressive. I feel compelled from the outset to underscore the extent to which there seems very often to be—in almost all of these essays—substantially more going on than perhaps first meets the eye." --Robert L. Mack, Eighteenth-Century Fiction
