Leader's own evaluation of the collection is unequivocal: 'fiction in Britain is in rude good health' as well as infineif moderndress."Evelyn Waugh Newsletter and Studies Product Description In this volume, fourteen of today's very best novelists and critics join forces to create a landmark study of the last 50 years of British fiction. Essays by Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, Hilary Mantel, James Wood, Christopher Hitchens, Michael Wood, Elaine Showalter, and others range from modernhistorical fiction and nationality to "lad lit" and the comic tradition, from criticism and reviewing to the reception of British fiction in America.
