From Instapoetry to BookTube, contemporary literary cultures and
practices are increasingly intertwined with social media. In this
lively and wide-ranging study, Bronwen Thomas explores how social
media provides new ways of connecting with and rediscovering
established literary works and authors while also facilitating the
emergence of unique and distinctive forms of creative expression.
The book takes a 360 approach to the subject, combining analysis of
current forms and practices with an examination of how social media
fosters ongoing collaborative discourse amongst both informal and
formal literary networks, and demonstrating how the participatory
practices of social media have the potential to radically transform
how literature is produced, shared and circulated. The first study
of its kind to focus specifically on social media, Literature and
Social Media provides a timely and engaging account of the state of
the art, while interrogating the rhetoric that so often accompanies
discussion of the 'new' in this context.
