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. 410 0$aEnvironmental cultures series ;$v4. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aClimatic changes in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aClimatic changes in literature. 676 $a823/.920936 676 $a823.920936 700 $aBracke$b Astrid$01262031 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597144103321 996 $aClimate crisis and the 21st-century British novel$92947464 997 $aUNINA
