Présentation

Clémence Laburthe-Tolra is Associate Professor in English studies and Art History at Université Paris 1- Panthéon Sorbonne, member of the HiCSA at Université Paris 1- Panthéon Sorbonne, and associate member of the EMMA research team at University Paul-Valéry Montpellier.

Her research specialises in nineteenth- and twentieth-century British literature, garden history, plant studies, and landscape design. She has published on the aesthetic, social, and political representation(s) of gardens and landscapes in 20th-century British literature as well as on the ecological and environmental implications of von Arnim, Sackville-West, and Macaulay’s horticultural and literary works.

She is currently working on two projects, investigating the democratisation of gardening in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Great Britain, and exploring post-war urban ecology, garden design and floral art in the aftermath of the Blitz.
