Description

"Britain's vote to leave the European Union in the summer of 2016 came as a shock to many observers. But writers had long been exploring the issues and fractures in British society -- from immigration, to devolution, to post-truth narratives -- that came to the fore in the Brexit campaign and its aftermath. Reading these tensions back into 21st-century British writing, BrexLit is the first in-depth study of how writers engaged with these issues before and after the referendum result. Examining a wide-range of authors, including Ali Smith, Julian Barnes, China Mieville, Sanjeev Sahota, Nicola Barker and Zadie Smith as well as popular fiction by Andrew Marr and Stanley Johnson, Kristian Shaw explores how a new and urgent genre of post-Brexit fiction is beginning to emerge."--
