She is also interested in the links between the medical and the religious imagination from the 17th to the 19th century. She co-edited a volume on Hawthorne’s Tales with Thomas Constantinesco (Sorbonne Université), Edouard Marsoin and Cécile Roudeau (Université Paris Cité), in which she also wrote an article on pseudo-sciences, puritanism, and secularism in Hawthorne’s short fiction. Several of her works on the theological and political dimensions of Herman Melville’s writings have been published in the Revue française d’études américaines and in Leviathan, the journal of Melville studies.
