Product DescriptionPostwar British novels have rarely been read in the meticulous, theoretically informed way that seems to be reserved for the classics. The objective of these readings of five postwar British novels (Evelyn Waugh:Brideshead Revisited, John Fowles:The French Lieutenant's Woman, William Golding:Sea Trilogy, Jeanette Winterson:The Passion, Ian McEwan:The Innocent) is to turn to wellknown contemporary texts with exactly the kind of sustained attention that they are usually denied. Drawing upon the insights of various poststructuralist theories, the interpretations concentrate on the entanglements of figurativity and narrative in five very different texts. By identifying and exploring the narrative tropes of remembering, seduction, Bildung, desire and initiation, the readings offer new insights into the relationship between figure and narrative, and also reveal the perhaps unsuspected richness of these novels.About the AuthorThe Author: Tams Bnyei teaches at the Department of English Literature, Kossuth University, Debrecen, Hungary. He has published two books in Hungarian: a volume of essays (1993) and a monograph on magic realist fiction (1997). Besides contemporary British fiction, which is his main field, he has written on literary theory, metaphysical detective stories, LatinAmerican literature (Borges, Garca Mrquez), Nabokov, Vonnegut, Hrabal, as well as contemporary Hungarian authors.
