The novel form has long been connected to modern capitalism and is,
arguably, the literary genre most prominently enmeshed in
contemporary global markets. Yet, as many critics have suggested
about capital, something has changed in the last forty years. With
the rise of neoliberalism as the dominant global economic
rationality and mode of governance, the experience of capital has
produced new ways of seeing and relating to the world, leading, as
David Harvey observes, to "the financialization of everything". The
novel, indexed to capital in myriad ways, then, must similarly have
been transformed. Neoliberalism and the Novel investigates both
those changes wrought to the novel form by changing arrangements of
capital, and the novel's broader engagement with neoliberalism
itself. The chapters in this book consider these questions from a
variety of angles, attending to the way in which the neoliberal
novel deploys familiar generic patterns as a site from which to
offer critique; examining the changing operation of labour and time
under neoliberalism and its effect on novel form; and offering a
broader call for new reading and interpretative practices to
respond to changing socio-economic realities. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Textual Practice.
