It shows the dynamic interrelations between the novel and the social, economic and political conditions in Britain during the latter half of the twentieth century. It also provides stimulating discussion of the relationship between the novel and other cultural media in the postmodern era.  \nSteven Connor incorporates an extensive and varied range of writers in his analysis, including both the well-established, such as George Orwell, William Golding,Angela Carter and Doris Lessing, and the less widely discussed, such as Timothy Mo, Hanif Kureishi, Marina Warner and Maggie Gee.  \nThe English Novel in History: 1950–1995 will be not only valuable reading for any student of English literature or popular culture but also highly accessible to thenon-academic reader of contemporary fiction.  \nSteven Connor is Professor of Modern Literature and Theory at Birkbeck College, London.  \nTHE NOVEL IN HISTORY  \nEdited by Gillian Beer  \nGirton College, Cambridge  \nInformed by recent narrative theory, each volume in this series will provide an authoritative yet lively and energetic account of the English novel in context. Looking at the whole spectrum of fiction, at elite, popular and mass-market genres, the series will consider the ways in which fiction not only reflects, but also helps shape contemporary opinion. Incisive and interdisciplinary, the series as a whole will radically challenge the development model of English literature, and enable each period – from the eighteenth century to the present day – to be assessed on its own terms.  \nOther titles in the series  \nThe English Novel in History  \n1895–1920  \nDavid Trotter  \nTHE ENGLISH NOVEL IN HISTORY 1950–1995  \nSteven Connor  \nLondon and New York  \nFirst published 1996  \nby Routledge  \n11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE  \nSimultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2001.  \n© 1996 Steven Connor  \nAll rights reserved.
