Thomas M. Carr, Jr., has been an Associate Professor since
1978 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he teaches
French civilization and eighteenth-century literature.

After receiving his B.A. in French from the Catholic University
of America, he did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, spending 1967-68 in Paris on a Fulbright Fellowship.
He received his Ph.D. in 1972.

He has published articles on rhetorical issues in Voltaire's
philosophic tragedies and contes, on Malebranche's theory of
rhetoric, and on Marivaux. He has also written a series of articles
treating the use of film and the visual arts in the teaching of
French civilization.

He is currently preparing a critical edition and commentary
of Antoine Arnauld's Réflexions sur l'éloquence ( 1695). The edition
will also make available other texts by Goibaud Dubois and Fran-
çois Lamy related to the quarrel over the proper balance between
reason and the imagination in preaching.
