Charles-Louis Morand Métivier is a native of France. His research focuses on the literary representation of the extreme emotions begotten by medieval and renaissance massacres, and on how these emotions helped create an idea of the nascent French nation as an emotional community, transcending the traditional ideas of nation building. He has secondary interests in literary and gender theory, early-modern poetry and theater, and in the expression of French popular culture through cinema, television, music, graphic novels, etc.
He is the coordinator of "La Maison Française" and enjoys helping students discover and understand the many sides of French culture. He has taught classes on language, culture, translation, and literature. He has published articles and chapters on Ronsard and du Bellay, Christine de Pizan, and Philippe de Mézières, and Alain Chartier. He is working on a critical edition and translation in prose of the Tragédie du sac de Cabrières for the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, and is working on a book on emotions, literature and nation in the reign of Charles VI.
