Systematic chapters address ?The English Novel as a Distinctly Modern Genre?, ?The Novel in the Economy', ?Genres', ?Gender' (performativity, masculinities, feminism, queer), and ?The Burden of Representation? (class and ethnicity). Extended contextualized close readings of more than twenty key texts from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) to Tom McCarthy's Satin Island (2015) supplement the systematic approach and encourage future research by providing overviews of reception and theoretical perspectives. 410 0$aHandbooks of English and American studies ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813.5409 686 $aHN 1295$2rvk 702 $aReinfandt$b Christoph 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824245303321 996 $aHandbook of the English novel of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries$93933147 997 $aUNINA
