From 1980 to the present, huge transformations have occurred in
every area of British cultural life. The election of Margaret
Thatcher in 1979 ushered in a new neoliberal era in politics and
economics that dramatically reshaped the British landscape.
Alongside this political shift, we have seen transformations to the
public sphere caused by the arrival of the internet and of social
media, and changes in the global balance of power brought about by
9/11, the emergence of China and India as superpowers, and latterly
the British vote to leave the European Union. British fiction of
the period is intimately interwoven with these historical shifts.
This collection brings together some of the most penetrating
critics of the contemporary, to explore the role that the British
novel has had in shaping the cultural landscape of our time, at a
moment, in the wake of the EU referendum of 2016, when the question
of what it means to be British has become newly urgent.
