Hanna Roman Editor

Hanna Roman is an Assistant Professor of French at Dickinson College. Her first book, The Language of Nature in Buffon’s Histoire naturelle (Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment/LUP, October 2018) examined the relationship between language and the natural sciences during the French Enlightenment. Her current research focuses on the influences of religious and mythological discourses on the scientific disciplines of geology, geography, and natural history in the French Enlightenment, and she is working on a second book project on the history of the ocean in the eighteenth century. Olivia Sabee is Associate Professor of Dance at Swarthmore College, where she also contributes courses to the programs in French and Francophone Studies and Comparative Literature. Her first book, Theories of Ballet in the Age of the Encyclopédie (Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment/LUP, 2022), examines how print culture shaped conceptions of eighteenth-century pantomime ballet. Her current research focuses on ballet between France, Saint-Domingue, and the eastern United States in the late eighteenth century.
