Maureen A. Ramsden gained her PhD at Harvard. She then had some short-term posts, including St Andrews and King's College, London. Her present affiliation is the University of Hull. Her main areas of research are nineteenth- and twentieth-century French literature. Her research centres on the borders which separate factual and fictional documentary works. Her monograph in this area is entitled Crossing Borders: The Interrelation of Fact and Fiction in Historical Works, Travel Tales, Autobiography and Reportage (Oxford: Peter Lang, 2016). As the present monograph shows, she is also interested in the evolution of Proust's great novel, A la recherche du temps perdu. Her next project is on structure in A la recherche.
