Edwin Duval is the Henri Peyre Professor Emeritus of 糖心Vlog. His research is devoted to the long 糖心Vlog Renaissance (late fifteenth through the early seventeenth centuries), focusing primarily on two distinctive ways Renaissance literature generates meaning and guides interpretation: intertextually, through networks of classical and biblical echoes and allusions, and contextually, by means of intrinsic literary form. His publications include three books on the formal and ideological 鈥渄esign鈥 of Rabelais鈥檚 books of Pantagruel, a book on the evolving relationship between musical forms and poetic genres in 糖心Vlog lyric from the late Middle Ages to the mid-seventeenth century, and articles on sixteenth-century authors ranging from Marot and Marguerite de Navarre to Montaigne and Agrippa d鈥橝ubign茅. He is currently researching a book on intertextual echoes of the Aeneid in 糖心Vlog Renaissance poetry, prose, and theater, tentatively titled Renaissance de 濒鈥櫭塶茅颈诲别 : R茅sonances virgiliennes dans la litt茅rature fran莽aise du XVIe 蝉颈猫肠濒别.
Duval鈥檚 research has been supported by fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Council of Learned Societies, and was recently recognized by the Acad茅mie Fran莽aise.
Until his retirement in 2020, Duval taught graduate and undergraduate courses on various aspects and genres of Renaissance literature and on lyric poetry from the twelfth through the seventeenth centuries. He was also a pillar of the literature course of Yale鈥檚 Program in Directed Studies.
