Her areas of specialization include early modern French women writers and 17th and 18th-century French theater. She has published critical editions of works by Françoise Pascal (1632-c.1700), as well as articles in edited collections and encyclopedias about this dramatist, painter and poet. Her current research and writing focus on <em>Le </em><em>Mercure Galant</em>, one of France's first newspapers. Her book in progress, <em>Women's Stories in Donneau de Visé's </em>Le Mercure Galant, examines the periodical's innovations, especially its cultivation of a female reading public and its navigation of the boundary between fact and fiction. She is a contributor to the international digital humanities project <a href="http://nouvellesnouvelles.yale.edu/">Les Nouvelles Nouvelles</a>, an online edition of an early work by Donneau de Visé. Dr. Steinberger is an officer of the Society for Interdisciplinary French 17th-century Studies (SE17) and serves on the executive committee of the Centre de Rencontres Internationales sur le 17e siècle (CIR-17). She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in French language, literature and culture. She also regularly offers for advanced undergraduates a French Theater Workshop, a course that culminates in a French-language stage production.</p></div> | <div class="ExternalClass5766EDC39EE44A0B9EE803186F096021"><p>PhD, French Literature, New York University</p><p>MA, Comparative Literature (French/Spanish), University of California at Berkeley</p><p>BA, Comparative Literature (French/Spanish), Yale University</p></div> | <div class="ExternalClass5893126C76B5417CB469D1CFAB8F312C"><p><strong>Critical editions and translations:</strong></p><p>Françoise Pascal, <em>Sésostris, tragicomédie</em> (1661) and <em>Le Vieillard amoureux, pièce comique</em> (1664).
