Xavier Giudicelli is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, where he teaches literature and translation. After a doctoral thesis for the University of Paris-Sorbonne which proposed an analysis of the illustrated editions of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, he carries on with his research on the illustration of literary texts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He also works on the rewriting and reinterpretation of Victorian and Edwardian literature in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
