This is a rigorous but accessible account of the interface between
landscape and style and form in contemporary British fiction.This
study examines the importance of space for the way contemporary
novelists experiment with aesthetic form, offering an account of
how British writers from the past three decades have engaged with
landscape depiction as a catalyst for stylistic innovation. James
considers the work of over fifteen major British novelists to offer
a wide-ranging and accessible commentary on the relationship
between landscape and narrative design, while showing that our
approach to those spaces mapped by contemporary fiction cannot be
divorced from the emotional aspects of reading itself.Moving
between established and emerging novelists, the book reveals that
spatial poetics allow us to chart distinctive and surprising
affinities between practitioners, demonstrating how writers today
compel us to pay close attention to technique when linking the
depiction of physical places to new developments in novelistic
craft.
