Michèle Perret
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Michèle Perret is a French linguist and novelist who was born in 1937 in Oran in Algeria.[1]
Background and education[edit]
She lived in Algeria until 1955, first on a farm near to Sfissef (once known as Mercier-Lacombe),[2] and then in Oran. Towards the end of her secondary education she settled in Paris.[3] After qualifying as an agrégée in modern literature, she went on to a doctorate in literature and humanities.
Career[edit]
Her academic career has almost all been spent as a professor of medieval language at Paris West University Nanterre La Défense.[4]
After a dissertation[5] about shifters in Middle French[6][7] her subsequent research has included: promoting, editing and translating of medieval tales; Narratology, especially earlier narratology (12th to 15th centuries); the linguistics of utterance; and history of the French language.
Her literary work is mainly concerned with the colonial and postcolonial Maghreb, particularly Algeria.
