Professor Gantz's research interests include the Decadent movement of fin de siècle in France; early twentieth-century women novelists; notions of spectacle and display during the Ancien Régime; and gender theory and feminist criticism. Her current scholarly work compares the incendiary writing of contemporary author Michel Houellebecq to the poetry of Charles Baudelaire. A second project seeks to demonstrate the ways in which the turn-of-the-century works of the unorthodox female writer Rachilde predate and predict current debates in postmodern gender theory.
