It is a vital aspect of the way we experience the world, and yet its function is frequently marginalised and downplayed.  Offering a new reading of the development of the novel during the mid-twentieth century, Jordan argues that this simple novelistic paradox became more pressing during a period in which chance became a cultural, scientific and literary preoccupation - through scientific developments such as quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle, the influence of existential philosophy, the growth of gambling, and the uncertainty provoked by the Second World War. In tracing the novel's representation of chance during this crucial period, we see both the development of the novel, and draw wider conclusions about the relationship between narrative and the contingent, the arbitrary and the uncertain. While the novel had historically rejected, marginalised or undermined chance, during this period it becomes a creative and welcome co-contributor to the novel's development, as writers such as Samuel Beckett, B.S. Johnson, Henry Green and Iris Murdoch show. 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Literary studies: general 606 $aChance in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChance in literature. 676 $a823/.91409 700 $aJordan$b Julia$cDr,$01520522 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784944103321 996 $aChance and the modern British novel$93759142 997 $aUNINA
