This book is the first study to chart these changing attitudes in 21st-century British fiction. Climate Crisis and the 21st-Century British Novel examines twelve works that reflect growing cultural awareness of climate crisis and participate in the reshaping of the stories that surround it. Central to this renegotiation are four narratives: environmental collapse, pastoral, urban and polar. Bringing ecocriticism into dialogue with narratology and a new body of contemporary writing, Astrid Bracke explores a wide range of texts, from Zadie Smith's NW through Sarah Hall's The Carhullan Army and David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas to the work of a new generation of novelists such as Melissa Harrison and Ross Raisin. As the book shows, post-millennial fictions provide the imaginative space in which to rethink the stories we tell about ourselves and the natural world in a time of crisis."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Environmental cultures series ;4.English fiction21st centuryHistory and criticismClimatic changes in literatureEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Climatic changes in literature.823/.920936823.920936Bracke Astrid1262031UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910597144103321Climate crisis and the 21st-century British novel2947464UNINA
