Literary Research and British Postmodernism is a guide for scholars
that aims to connect the complex relationships between print and
multimedia, technological advancements, and the influence of
critical theory that converge in postwar British literature. This
era is unique in that strict boundaries between fiction,
nonfiction, multimedia and print are not useful. Postmodern
literature is defined by the breaking down of boundaries as a
reaction to modernism and requires an innovative, multifaceted
approach to research. In this guide the authors explore these
complex relationships and offer strategies for researching this new
period of literature. This book takes a holistic approach to
postmodern literature that recognizes the way in which digital
media, film, critical theory, popular music and more traditional
print sources are inextricably linked. Through this approach, the
authors present a broad view of "postmodernism" that includes a
wide variety of British authors writing in the last half of the
twentieth century. The book's definition of "postmodern" includes
any British literature following World War II that engages issues
central to postmodern theory, including the social construction of
gender, sexuality, and power; the subjectivity of truth; technology
as a social force; intertextuality; metafiction; post-colonial
narrative; and fantasy. This guide aims to aid researchers of
postwar British literature by defining best practices for scholars
conducting research in a period so broadly varied in the way it
defines literature.
