This topical, lively and wide-ranging book examines the material
conditions under which the contemporary English novel is produced
and consumed. Its starting point is the general economic emergency
which showed up these conditions with unusual clarity in the early
1970s. The first section of the book, 'Crisis and Change',
considers the changing patterns of institutional book-purchase,
inflation and novel-production, the 'Americanisation' of the
British book trade, and the present state of fiction reviewing. The
second section, 'State Remedies', surveys such interventions, and
failed interventions, as Public Lending Right, Arts Council
patronage, and university support for creative writers. The third
section, 'Trends, Mainly American', selects specific areas
(paperback publishing, self-publishing, book-clubs, television
work) which offer pointers to significant future developments in
British literary culture. Fiction and the Fiction Industry pays
close attention to actual novels, combining literary criticism with
its examination of the book trade.
