This book is the first study to chart these changing attitudes in 21st-century British fiction. \u003ci\u003eClimate Crisis and the 21st-Century British Novel\u003c\/i\u003e examines twelve works that reflect growing cultural awareness of climate crisis and participate in the reshaping of the stories that surround it. Central to this renegotiation are four narratives: environmental collapse, pastoral, urban and polar. Bringing ecocriticism into dialogue with narratology and a new body of contemporary writing, Astrid Bracke explores a wide range of texts, from Zadie Smith's \u003ci\u003eNW \u003c\/i\u003ethrough Sarah Hall's \u003ci\u003eThe Carhullan Army\u003c\/i\u003e and David Mitchell's \u003ci\u003eCloud Atlas \u003c\/i\u003eto the work of a new generation of novelists such as Melissa Harrison and Ross Raisin. As the book shows, post-millennial fictions provide the imaginative space in which to rethink the stories we tell about ourselves and the natural world in a time of crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45082913341591,"sku":"9781474271127","price":16474.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781474271127.webp?v=1767098648","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/climate-crisis-and-the-21st-century-british-novel-9781474271127","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
