For the last 20 years, I have done extensive research on Molière and Lully's comedy-ballets.

Here I have consulted documents and microfilm for Yale University, having to do with the new volume of Benjamin Franklin Papers to be published shortly.

I have done extensive research and interviews for a new article I am writing on Huguette Dreyfus. To see the first article, click below.
