Interview with Christie Mcdonald and Susan Rubin Suleiman

French Global: A New Approach from Literary History, published in September 2011 by Columbia University Press, offers an innovative new look at the breadth of literary expression in French. Focusing on writers from all over the world, French Global's twenty-nine essays discuss works that span some 1200 years of literary history. Co-editors Christie McDonald (Smith Professor of French Language and Literature, Harvard University) and Susan Rubin Suleiman (C. Douglas Dillon Professor of the Civilization of France, Harvard University) attended the “Idea of France” conference and led a public discussion around their volume. David Pettersen (Assistant Professor of French, University of Pittsburgh) caught up with them afterwards to talk more about their project
