Urquhart, Steven

Having grown up in southern Ontario, I ended up becoming an "au-pair" in Lyon, France before heading to University to pursue French Studies. I returned to France in 1996-1997 (Nantes) and completed at B.Ed. I completed a M.A. at Penn State University and a Ph.D. at Queen's University on the topic of the esthétique du monstrueux dans l'oeuvre romanesque de Gérard Bessette (Quebec author). I have since continued to study contemporary Quebec literature and cinema, publishing on a variety of Quebec authors.
