Critical introductions to a range of literary topics and genres. Following a period when the decline of the novel was widely discussed, fiction has emerged as a vibrant and innovative genre, exploring the diversity of the contemporary world and, frequently, experimenting with form and language.

Texts are placed in their cultural contexts and are often discussed in the light of related works. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
