Atonement - Ian McEwan, Joe Wright - "The attempt was all"
Cet ouvrage offre une analyse détaillée et problématisée du roman de Ian McEwan Atonement (2001) et de son adaptation filmique par Joe Wright (2007). Les deux œuvres sont replacées dans leur contexte et étudiées notamment à travers le prisme de la métafiction. Un rappel des principaux enjeux de la théorie de l'adaptation est proposé en introduction. L'ouvrage met ensuite en lumière les modalités de questionnement des chronologies de la création dans le roman et dans le film, propose une interprétation des distorsions génériques, linguistiques et esthétiques au cœur de Atonement, et met au jour les ambiguïtés éthiques et esthétiques de la démarche artistique de Briony, entre réalisme et esthétique du faux, manipulation et (faux) indices. Cet ouvrage est au programme du concours d'agrégation d'anglais 2018.

In and Out
The aim of the book is twofold: first, to provide an overview of the critical history of eccentricity; and secondly to conceptualise a notion that is often presented as a defining feature of the English “character”. It addresses the key issues raised by eccentricity and brings out interdisciplinary links between science, politics, literature and the arts: the sources and dissemination of the concept of eccentricity; its relationship with the English national character as historical and ideological constructs; the structural need for variation and divergence within accepted social norms; the paradoxical status of the eccentric as outsider – when eccentricity is transgressive and alienat...
Agrégation anglais 2020. Howards End (E. M. Forster, J. Ivory): Beyond Heritage
Reading Forster’s novel and Ivory’s film together gives a stunning opportunity to re-assess the representation of Pre-World War One modernity. Far from presenting Edwardian England as a golden period, Howards End explores social structures, social mobility, real estate, the ambivalent relation to culture and new technological modes of communication and transport. Stylistically, the novel breaks new ground with its Protean narrative voice, and transitions towards Modernism with its mythic, musical method. The eponymous house becomes a metaphor for ecological balance, a new kind of extended family structure, a network of connections and a new sense of community. If Howards End as a novel reinvents literary legacy and redefines personal and national heritage, Ivory’s adaptation must also be reassessed as so-called heritage cinema, far from the clichés of a purely aesthetic approach. It is no period piece or marketable commodity meant to toe a conservative line, but a carefully woven creative transposition, which also raises social and gendered questions.

The Personality of Henry Cavendish - A Great Scientist with Extraordinary Peculiarities
Profiles the eminent 18th century natural philosopher Henry Cavendish, best known for his work in chemistry and physics and one of the most baffling personalities in the history of science. In these chapters we are introduced to the psychology of science and of scientists and we learn about Cavendish’s life and times. His personality is examined from two perspectives: one is that he had a less severe form of autism, as has been claimed; the other is that he was eccentric and a psychological disorder was absent. Henry Cavendish lived a life of science, possibly more completely than any other figure in the history of science: a wealthy aristocrat, he became a dedicated scientist. This study ...
Spectacles of Blood
This book places itself at the nexus of current issues of violence, masculinity and power in the postcolonial context and its representation in its films in challenging, normalising, or contesting these major concerns of our times. The essays address the interplay of critical and theoretical insights both from literature and social studies in analysing the films based on societal violence in postcolonial cultures: be it in the context of sophisticated terrorism, suicide bombings, the underworld, any organised crime, mob violence etc. The writers look at the the dynamics of the representation of these issues as cinematic plots and techniques. They draw attention to the affective value of the ...
Twenty-First-Century Readings of E. M. Forster's 'Maurice'
This is the first book-length study of Forster’s posthumously-published novel. Nine essays focus exclusively on Maurice and its dynamic afterlives in literature, film and new media during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Begun in 1913 and revised over almost fifty years, Maurice became a defining text in Forster’s work and a canonical example of queer fiction. Yet the critical tendency to read Maurice primarily as a ‘revelation’ of Forster’s homosexuality has obscured important biographical, political and aesthetic contexts for this novel. This collection places Maurice among early twentieth-century debates about politics, philosophy, religion, gender, Aestheticism and all...
