In this book, Mary Talbot shows how fiction works in the
constitution and reproduction of social life. She does not reduce
fiction to a functional support for ideology, however, but
considers that the greatest interest in fiction is as a source of
pleasure. She discusses both 'high' and 'low' fiction, combining
discussion of social context with language analysis. Taking a view
of fiction as a product of social practices, the book examines not
only the texts themselves but also what people do with them and how
they are valued. Fictions at work will be of interest to students
on a variety of courses including linguistics, English, women's
studies, cultural studies, and media and communication studies.
