How did social, cultural and political events in Britain during the
1990s shape contemporary British Fiction? From the fall of the
Berlin Wall to the turn of the millennium, the 1990s witnessed a
realignment of global politics. Against the changing international
scene, this volume uses events abroad and in Britain to examine and
explain the changes taking place in British fiction, including: the
celebration of national identities, fuelled by the move toward
political devolution in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales; the
literary optimism in urban ethnic fictions written by a new
generation of authors, born and raised in Britain; the popularity
of neo-Victorian fiction. Critical surveys are balanced by in-depth
readings of work by the authors who defined the decade, including
A.S. Byatt, Hanif Kureishi, Will Self, Caryl Phillips and Irvine
Welsh: an approach that illustrates exactly how their key themes
and concerns fit within the social and political circumstances of
the decade.
