Professor Catriona Seth
Catriona Seth is the Marshal Foch Professor of French Literature. She was an undergraduate at Magdalen and is a graduate of the Sorbonne. She came to Oxford after holding positions at the universities of Rouen and Nancy and prior experience as a translator and interpreter, management consultant and school teacher. Her research centres on the long eighteenth century and often includes archival work. There is a strong interdisciplinary angle to much of it as it involves literary studies but also cultural history, medical humanities and history of art. Catriona enjoys giving lectures and seminars for the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages. She is currently supervising a number of graduates and always welcomes enquiries from prospective students.
