It is with reference to each of these novelists in turn that the terms 'realist', 'postmodernist', 'historical' and 'postcolonialist' fiction are introduced, while in the remaining four parts, other novelists are discussed and the meaning of the terms amplified. From the start it is emphasised that these terms and others often mean different things to different novelists, and that the complexity of their novels often obliges us to discuss their work with reference to more than one of the terms.
Also discusses the works of: Maggie O'Farrell, Sarah Hall, A.L. Kennedy, Alan Warner, Ali Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, Kate Atkinson, Salman Rushdie, Adam Foulds, Sarah Waters, James Robertson, Mohsin Hamid, Andrea Levy, and Aminatta Forna. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a823.9209 700 $aAcheson$b James, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0131155 702 $aAcheson$b James$f1947- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828159103321 996 $aThe contemporary British novel since 2000$93960462 997 $aUNINA
