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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781474271127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40597410808014,"sku":"9781474271127","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_74afa561-d9c0-4b5b-a3e1-68f1b4dceafd.jpg?v=1637879395","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781474271127","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
