“…We say six or seven, because, although there are six recognizably different temporal settings, we have to include the "timeless" (since invisible) frame of Mitchell's authorial hand, which orchestrates the multi-temporal college.' 16 That 'timeless frame' either is the one we are in or points to an eighth time shift, which is the now of our reading. Metafiction always points back to the reader to question the reality or fictionality of our existence.…”

Cet article se propose d’examiner dans quelle mesure la fiction néo-victorienne récente illustre la tentative de la fiction du vingt-et-unième siècle d’explorer de nouvelles possibilités romanesques. En prenant comme exemples Cloud Atlas de David Mitchell (2004), The Long Song d’Andrea Levy (2010), The Crimson Petal and the White de Michel Faber (2002) et The Palace of Curiosities de Rosie Garland (2013), nous soutiendrons que le néo-victorianisme élargit le spectre du postmodernisme en concevant une cosmopoétique où se mêlent référentialité et esthétique mondialisées, en imaginant d’autres formes d’historiographie fictionnelle, en remettant en cause diverses formes d’orthodoxie et en s’interrogeant sur les limites de l’humain. Bien que le roman du nouveau millénaire suggère des variations et des évolutions par rapport à la métafiction historiographique de la fin du vingtième siècle, on ne peut cependant pas considérer qu’il renonce au postmodernisme.
