About
A former member of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris (1993), I passed a BA in English Studies, then taught at Oxford University in Wadham College and St Catherine's College. There, I studied Joseph Conrad for my Master's, and I passed a B.A. in Philosophy in Nanterre University (1995).
I passed the agrégation (1996), a B.A. in History (1997), an MPhil on Robert Browning and a B.A. in Spanish Studies (1998).
I went to Berlin on a double grant (Académie Française and Stipendium des Abgeordnetenhauses von Berlin) for a research project on Robert Browning and German culture (1998-9).
Back in Paris, I taught English literature and translation at the University of Paris III-New Sorbonne. I defended my PhD entitled: "'Tongue's Imperial Fiat': the Polyphonies in Robert Browning's Poetry" in 2003. This work was published by the Presses Universitaires de Strasbourg in 2009, and won the second position of the SAES/AFEA Research Prize in 2010.
I have taught British Literature, Arts in the English-speaking world and Translation at the University of Strasbourg since 2004 as a Maître de Conférences. I passed the "Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches" in 2010 and hold the title of Professor (2011).
I have published a number of articles on Robert Burns, Thomas De Quincey, Robert Browning et Joseph Conrad. I edited the volume *Culture savante, culture populaire dans les pays anglophones* (RANAM n° 39 / 2006) and co-edited with Christian Auer *Culture savante, culture populaire en Écosse* (RANAM n° 40 / 2007).
I also ran various academic websites: Société Française d’Études Victoriennes et Édouardiennes (sfeve.org), Etudes Anglaises, Department of English Studies in Strasbourg University, Vortex (EA 178, in Paris III-New Sorbonne), EDEA (ED 187, in Paris III-New Sorbonne), Orphelinat de l'Enseignement Public, SEPTET.
My research focuses on Romantic and Postromantic British and Irish Poetry - roughly from Robert Burns to W. B. Yeats. I like to explore the relationships between poetry and others arts: music, painting, photography and the cinema, as well as the meeting of Britishness and other cultures (Spanish and German-speaking worlds).
