Dr Anne Byrne is currently preparing a book
based on her doctoral thesis entitled 'Public ceremonies in the reign of Louis
XVI, 1774-5'. Her research interests are based on court history, ritual
and ceremony, participation, gender, and emotions history, all in France.
Her newest project revolves around positive public emotion towards the king
from the mid 18c, something that has so far received almost no attention in the
historiography. Her talk on the deathbed of Louis XV will include
material on Madame de Pompadour.
