The 1990s proved to be a particularly rich and fascinating period
for British fiction. This book provides a fresh perspective on the
diverse writings that appeared during the decade, bringing together
leading academics in the field in order to:
Trace the concerns that emerged as central to 1990s fiction, in
sections on millennial anxieties, identity politics, the
relationship between the contemporary and the historical, and
representations of contemporary space
Offer distinctive new readings of the most important novelists of
the period, including Martin Amis, Beryl Bainbridge, Pat Barker,
Julian Barnes, A. S. Byatt, Hanif Kureishi, Ian McEwan, Iain
Sinclair, Zadie Smith and Jeanette Winterson
Show how British fiction engages with major cultural debates of the
1990s, such as the concern with representing various identities and
cultural groups, or theories of "the end of history"
Discuss 1990s fiction in relation to broader literary and critical
theories, including postmodernism, post-feminism and
postcolonialism
Together the essays highlight the ways in which the writing of the
1990s represents a development of the themes and styles of the
post-war novel generally, yet displays a range of characteristics
distinct to the decade. "British Fiction of the 1990s" is essential
reading for those working in the field of recent fiction or
studying any of the authors discussed.
