Description

This comprehensive essay collection examines how identity and form intersect across twentieth and twenty-first century literature, offering fresh perspectives on the relationship between content and form, body and mind. The volume brings together multiple critical viewpoints to analyse how contemporary writers engage with or resist identity politics, exploring how authorial presence shapes textual interpretation. Contributors address identity through diverse lenses including disability, gender, race and sexuality, whilst simultaneously questioning the stability of these categories themselves. The collection deconstructs traditional binary oppositions that have long governed literary criticism, providing readers with nuanced frameworks for understanding how modern and contemporary writers use formal innovation to interrogate questions of selfhood, embodiment and representation.
