Ahlberg1st ed. 2016.New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2016.1 online resource (XII, 212 p.) The New Urban AtlanticBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-349-69360-X 1-137-47921-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Atlantic Afterlives in Contemporary Fiction offers fresh readings of what has been called "transatlantic literature". In selected twentieth- and twenty-first-century texts it discovers a shift from oceanic, place-based knowledge to an atmospheric, placeless circulation of information. Consonant with the displacements of the Information Age, this book reads contemporary narrative as it imagines and navigates today's virtual spaces. An important conclusion of the book is that intellectual resources are finite and should be used sustainably. Thus, arguing against a conventional comparative approach, this book proposes reading practices that resist the tendency toward an oversupply of reworked literary contexts that seems bent on matching the reach of the World Wide Web. Instead, the book reimagines place as a practice in the way it is communicated and narrated. Ultimately, this book empowers the reader to reimagine a future for narrative in the Information Age.The New Urban AtlanticLiterature—History and criticismFictionLiterature, Modern—20th centuryBritish literatureLiterature—PhilosophyCulture—Study and teachingLiterary Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000Fictionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000British and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Literary Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000Cultural Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411130Literature—History and criticism.Fiction.Literature, Modern—20th century.British literature.Literature—Philosophy.Culture—Study and teaching.Literary History.Fiction.Twentieth-Century Literature.British and Irish Literature.Literary Theory.Cultural Theory.809.3/04Ahlberg Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062499BOOK9910255228303321Atlantic Afterlives in Contemporary Fiction2526112UNINA
