career in 1919 as professor of physics and chemistry at the Collège
de Bar-sur-Aube. In 1927, Bachelard earned his doctorate in letters
at the Sorbonne, specialising in epistemology. In 1930 he was
appointed professor of philosophy at the University of Dijon, where
he taught until 1940, at which time he was named chair of history
and philosophy of science at the Sorbonne (1940–1954). In 1961 he
won the French Grand Prix National des Lettres for his widely
acclaimed The Poetics of Space (La poétique de l’espace, 1957).
