Research and Teaching
Lorna Milne's research focuses on the 20th and 21st centuries in France and the wider francophone world. She has published on metropolitan novelists including Michel Tournier and Marie Nimier, and Antillean writers Patrick Chamoiseau and Gisèle Pineau. She has recently completed a co-edited book, Narratives of French Modernity: Themes, Forms, Metamorphoses (Peter Lang, forthcoming) and an article on Alix de Saint-André and Claude Izner (in French Cultural Studies, November 2010). Her current project, with funding from the British Academy, is a book on the Antillean novel and the 'malédiction du nègre'. Prof. Milne has also worked on political discourse in the Fifth Republic, and is organizing the public lecture series Understanding Sarkozy's France, with support from the Institut Français d'Ecosse. She teaches specialist modules on contemporary women writers, postcolonial literature and identity, the twentieth century novel and Antillean literature from Césaire to the present.
