Product Description
Review
On Modern British Fiction is to be welcomed by all kinds of readers. Anyone who cares about the nature and effect of current writing will want to read these very acute and well-researched essays. Contemporary Review ... the volume offers delights, insights and even a few personal memoirs. For this reason (the sheer eclecticism of the material) the result is a fascinating symposium ranging from artistic credos to revisionist perspectives ... an ambitious and learned collection of essays. Contemporary Review ... an enlightening collection. Good Book Guide ... lively and diverse collection. Daily Telegraph Anyone at all interested in fiction (or indeed in what it is to be 'modern' or 'British') will find at least three or four of these essays worth the price of the book. Caroline Moore, The Spectator This is a fine collection for sending a reader back to the sparkling source from whence it came. Erica Wagner, The Times ... a roll-call of contributors. The Spectator With a range of contributors comprising the very pick of contemporary novelists, critics, essayists, jounalists and academics, if any book stands to illuminate [the state of modern British fiction], this is it. William Sutcliffe, The Independent on Sunday
