About the Authors
Kenneth T. Rivers is a Professor of French at Lamar University,
Beaumont, in
the Texas State University System. Born in Oakland,
California in 1950, he went on to receive his
BA, MA, and PhD in French, with a minor in History, from the University of California
at Berkeley. He
has authored one previous book, Transmutations: Understanding Literary and
Pictorial Caricature, and many scholarly articles on a variety of subjects
including the works of Balzac, Flaubert, and other authors; the art of Daumier;
French cinema; French politics; and, perhaps most notably, the effects of
climate changes throughout history upon European culture.
Morris Gilbert Bishop (1893-1973) was one of the great
literary scholars of his time and an acclaimed biographer. He championed the
academic life, not only in books -- A Survey of French Literature (first
and second editions) and A History of Cornell, but also by serving as
President of the Modern Language Association.
