Samenvatting

* A jargon--free introduction to the whole history of the novel in the twentieth century. * Examines the main strands of twentieth--century fiction, including post--war, post--imperial and multicultural fiction, the global novel, the digital novel and the post--realist novel.

For at least 100 years now, novelists have experimented with ways to make fiction “modern”, to make it better able to reflect and resist the perils and pleasures of modernity. This book looks at how they have done so, tracing the evolution of the modern novel through the twentieth century, and providing a framework through which readers of all kinds can appreciate the significance of the genre.

This book introduces readers to the history of the novel in the twentieth century and demonstrates its ongoing relevance as a literary form.
