With the increasing number of books on contemporary fiction, there
is a need for a work that examines whom we value, and why. These
questions lie at the heart of this book which, by focusing on four
novelists, literary and popular, interrogates the canon over the
last fifty years. The argument unfolds to demonstrate that academic
trends increasingly control canonicity, as do the demands of genre,
the increasing commercialisation of literature, and the power of
the literary prize. Turner argues that literary excellence,
demonstrated by style and imaginative power, is often missing in
many works that have become modern classics and makes a case for
the value of the 'universal' in literature. Written in a
jargon-free style, with reference to many supporting writers, the
book raises a number of significant cultural questions about the
arts, fashions and literary reputations, of interest to readers in
contemporary literary studies.
