"Academia in Fact and Fiction" comprises twenty-eight essays on the
relationship(s) between the university and the practice of belles
lettres. The collection includes studies of the teaching of fiction
by university professors; the fit - or misfit - between the
creative writer and the academy; the depiction of the university,
its staff and atmosphere, in literature, cinema and new media; and
the varieties of academic fiction ranging from the ludic and
satirical to the tragic. Most of the works addressed in the volume
are British or American, modern or contemporary, but the historical
range extends to Victorian and Shakespearian works, and the
geographical range includes novels and poems from Russia, New
Zealand, and Nigeria. Among the genres discussed are, in addition
to the "literary novel", plays, detective fiction, fanfiction,
utopias, mysteries and alternative history. The contributors are
international and cosmopolitan.
