Stéphane Michaud (born 1944)[1] is a French scholar specializing in comparative literature. He is Professor Emeritus of the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris where he taught since the 1990s.[2] He has written or edited more than ten books, a body of work that is influential in his field.
Against a background of improving relationships between Germany and France in the post-war years, Stéphane Michaud spent one year in Germany in his childhood, as a means to study a foreign language and to become familiar with a foreign culture.[5] This initiated a lifelong connection to Germany.[6] After reading classical languages at the Sorbonne, Michaud worked in Germany as a language assistant at Heidelberg University. He published extensively about German authors of the 19th and 20th century, editing unpublished works such as Lou Andreas-Salomé's journal of her journey in Russia with Rainer Maria Rilke, Rußland mit Rainer.[7][8] He published French translations of works by the contemporary German poet Wulf Kirsten.
