| Description: |

They have reacted to the Thatcherite revolution that thrust Britain into the modern world of multi-national capitalism by giving unusual fictional shape to the impact of global events and culture. |
| Synopsis: |
Building on existing surveys of contemporary English fiction, this timely book focuses on key novels by eleven major English novelists who have broken in different ways from the realist British novel of the post-War period without losing their broad appeal among readers. These writers have reacted to the Thatcherite revolution that thrust Britain into the modern world of multi-national capitalism by giving unusual fictional shape to the impact of global events and culture, and by experimenting with innovatory narrative modes and fictional techniques to re-present the changing world in which they find themselves. This book should be of wide interest to students and instructors in contemporary British fiction. The novels analyzed are: Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus, Peter Ackroyd's Chatterton, Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia, Martin Amis's Time's Arrow, A. S. Byatt's Angels and Insects, Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body, Graham Swift's Last Orders, Julian Barnes' A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, Kazuo Ishiguro's When We Were Orphans, and Ian McEwan's Atonement. |
