Combining political theory with strong readings of a vast range of novels, John Marx shows that fiction over the long twentieth century has often envisioned good government not in Utopian but in pragmatic terms. Early-twentieth-century novels by Joseph Conrad, E. M. Forster and Rabindrananth Tagore helped forecast world government after European imperialism. Twenty-first-century novelists such as Monica Ali, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Michael Ondaatje and Amitav Ghosh have inherited that legacy and continue to criticize existing policies in order to formulate best practices on a global scale. Marx shows how literature can make an important contribution to political and social sciences by creating a space to imagine and experiment with social organization.Geopolitics & the Anglophone Novel, 1890-2011Fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismFiction21st centuryHistory and criticismGeopolitics in literaturePolitics and literatureFictionHistory and criticism.FictionHistory and criticism.Geopolitics in literature.Politics and literature.809/.93358LIT004120bisacshMarx John698929UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910779151203321Geopolitics and the Anglophone novel, 1890-20113704437UNINA
