Présentation

Isabelle Brasme is Professor of British Studies at the University of Burgundy, member of the TIL Research Centre at the University of Burgundy, and associate member of the EMMA research team at the University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3.

From Sept. 2009 to Sept. 2024, she was Senior Lecturer in British Studies at the University of Nîmes, and a member of the EMMA research team at the University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3.

She defended her Accreditation to supervise research (HDR) in September 2023 at the University Paul Valéry Montpellier 3. The topic was: 'Reconsidering mimesis as a literary mode of being to the world: questioning the modernist canon, addressing representations of the war and sketching an ethics of literature’.

She is Review Editor for the Cahiers victoriens et édouardiens and a member of the scientific committee for Études britanniques contemporaines.

Her research was initially focused on challenging the modernist ‘canon’ and the ethical power of literature; over the past decade, her investigations have shifted towards the themes of war and historical crises (with a particular focus on the First World War), and the resilience of the humanities in the face of such events. Drawing extensively on contemporary issues (ethics, ecocriticism), her research aims to demonstrate the fruitful potential of breaking down the barriers between periods and fostering dialogue between contemporary and earlier texts, such as those of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

She has published various essays on these topics, as well as a number of volumes, among which the monograph Parade’s End de Ford Madox Ford: vers une esthétique de la crise (PULM, 2016), a collaborative volume entitled: Homo Duplex: Ford Madox Ford’s Experience and Aesthetics of Alterity (PULM, 2020), and a collaborative volume in French of translations and essays on writers and war, entitled Les Artistes et la Guerre (Houdiard, 2017). She has co-edited with Jean-Michel Ganteau and Christine Reynier the collaborative volume The Humble in 19th- to 21st-Century British Literature and Arts (PULM, 2017).

Her most recent monograph, Writers at War (Routledge, 2023), addresses the most immediate representations of the First World War in the prose of Ford Madox Ford, May Sinclair, Siegfried Sassoon and Mary Borden; it interrogates the various ways in which these writers contended with conveying their war experience from the temporal and spatial proximity of the warzone and investigates the multifarious impact of the war on the (re)development of their aesthetics.

She has recently coedited a volume of essays on May Sinclair (PULM, 2024) with Leslie de Bont and Florence Marie, and a volume on the ecopoetics of war (Routledge, 2025) with Sylvain Belluc and Guillaume Tanguy.
