Dans le manicome du crâne et nulle part ailleurs
Beckett’s late “closed space” works are characterized by the experience of confinement. This article revisits Mal vu mal dit (1981), focusing on two dimensions of the text that have characterized experiences of the current pandemic: confinement and confusion. I explore these notions and their productive co-existence in the text: firstly, the experience of the enclosed, disturbing spaces of the cabin that are repeatedly described, as well as the m…
The Cambridge History of the Novel in French
This History is the first in a century to trace the development and impact of the novel in French from its beginnings to the present. Leading specialists explore how novelists writing in French have responded to the diverse personal, economic, socio-political, cultural-artistic and environmental factors that shaped their worlds.

Marcel Proust
Portraits by the Artists as Young Men
Marcel Proust and Paul Valéry have received very little comparative critical attention. My article undertakes the first comparative analysis of works written and published by Proust and Valéry just four years apart when both were in their early twenties: Valéry's prose 'Glose sur quelques peintures' (1891), which focuses on portraits by Cristofano Allori and Francisco de Zurbarán, and Proust's 'Portraits de peintres' (1895), verse poems in which …

His way with words led his school-friends to coin the verb proustifier, communicating the verbosity and garrulous flattery that characterized even the teenage Proust. He fell out with his friend the diplomat and writer Paul Morand when the latter published his “Ode à Marcel Proust” in October 1919, which poked fun at …

The sign of the swan in Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu
This article takes as its starting point Proust and Mallarmé's shared conception of the associative ‘music’ which connects words when considered as signs in literature. It examines the inscription of this in A la recherche du temps perdu , concentrating on the homophonic signifiers ‘cygne’, ‘signe’, ‘Swann’ and the English ‘swan’. By demonstrating the complexity of swan references in the novel, following the work of Gilles Deleuze, this article s…
