Présentation
Catherine Marshall is Professor of British Studies at CY Cergy Paris Université (France), Director of the AGORA research centre and co-director of the MA Political Ideas in a Digital Age.
Her work centres on British intellectual and political history during the Victorian period and on the legacy of such ideas in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Her research has notably explored the ideas and influence of Walter Bagehot; involved the discovery and publication of the papers of the Metaphysical Society (1869-1881); and explored the evolution and importance of political “deference” in the British constitution during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She is the co-editor, with Bernard Lightman and Richard England, of a 3-volume critical edition of The papers of The Metaphysical Society (1869-1880) (OUP, 2015) and The Metaphysical Society. Intellectual Life in Mid-Victorian England (OUP, 2019). Her most recent monograph Political Deference in a Democratic Age. British Politics and the Constitution from the Eighteenth Century to Brexit was published with Palgrave in 2021.
She was Oliver Smithies Visiting Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford, for two terms in 2023, which led to three main projects: 1/a book co-edited with Professor Céline Roynier Twenty-First Century Perspectives on the Scholarship of AV Dicey: The Enduring Legacy of a Victorian Constitutionalist (to be published with Hart in 2025), 2/ an international conference on Benjamin Disraeli and his legacy (University of Chicago in Paris, Jan 2024, co-organised with Emily Jones, Miles Taylor and Seamus Perry) along with the publication of the papers (Cahiers Victoriens et Edouardiens, for 2025) and 3/ to start a new research work on British Romantic Conservatism.
