Sophie Dubillot

My doctoral project focuses on the different forms, purposes, limits and evolution of war humour in French publications during the post-war period from the Normandy landings in June 1944 until the establishment of the French Fourth Republic in October 1946, a period that has never been studied from this perspective. This PhD builds upon my previous research while building the Chadwyck-Healey Liberation Collection, the main corpus for my thesis, for the past six years, and will extend my collaboration with the University Library at Cambridge. Prior to undertaking PhD study, I worked as a Bibliographical Researcher.
