This book discusses the complex ways in which the novel offers a
vibrant arena for critically engaging with our contemporary world
and scrutinises the genre's political, ethical, and aesthetic
value. Far-reaching cultural, political, and technological changes
during the past two decades have created new contexts for the
novel, which have yet to be accounted for in literary studies.
Addressing the need for fresh transdisciplinary approaches that
explore these developments, the book focuses on the multifaceted
responses of the novel to key global challenges, including
migration and cosmopolitanism, posthumanism and ecosickness, human
and animal rights, affect and biopolitics, human cognition and
anxieties of inattention, and the transculturality of terror. By
doing so, it testifies to the ongoing cultural relevance of the
genre. Lastly, it examines a range of 21st-century Anglophone
novels to encourage new critical discourses in literary studies.
