Elsa Cavalié is a Senior Lecturer at Avignon University (France). Her research focuses on Contemporary British fiction and Cultural Studies with particular emphasis on the notions of Englishness and Britishness.

Laurent Mellet is Professor of British literature and film at the Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès (France). He specialises in Modernist and contemporary British fiction, and in film and adaptation theory.

«The book edited by Elsa Cavalié and Laurent Mellet is extremely broad and varied. It unites the works of seasoned Forsterians with those of young scholars embarking on their academic careers, as well as an impressive variety of critical approaches and fields in which Forster's legacies can still be felt. Although apparently addressed primarily to Forsterian scholars, it should be, at least in part, equally interesting for scholars interested e.g. in contemporary gay fiction or adaptation studies, as well as in the writers indebted to Forster.»
