Description

Explore the complex relationship between literature and the present era with Literature and The Contemporary: Fictions and Theories of the Present. Published by Routledge as part of the Longman Studies In Twentieth Century Literature, this collection moves beyond the common focus on the end of history or the end of the novel. Instead, it offers a deep look at how 1990s literature actively engages with memory, history, and the representation of time. Through twelve distinct essays, readers can examine various theories of temporality from multiple cultural and philosophical perspectives. The book provides a wide-ranging survey that includes critical writing from feminist and postcolonial standpoints. This makes it a valuable resource for students and scholars looking to understand how contemporary fiction navigates the nuances of the present day.
