Handbook of the English Novel of the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries (Hardcover)

The Handbook systematically charts the trajectory of the English novel from its emergence as the foremost literary genre in the early twentieth century to its early twenty-first century status of eccentric eminence in new media environments. Systematic chapters address The English Novel as a Distinctly Modern Genre', The Novel in the Economy', Genres', Gender' (performativity, masculinities, feminism, queer), and The Burden of Representation' (class and ethnicity). Extended contextualized close readings of more than twenty key texts from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) to Tom McCarthy's Satin Island (2015) supplement the systematic approach and encourage future research by providing overviews of reception and theoretical perspectives.
