{"product_id":"9781474271134","title":"Climate Crisis and the 21st-Century British Novel","description":"The challenge of rapid climate change is forcing us to rethink traditional attitudes to nature. 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.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156736065776,"sku":"9781474271134","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781474271134_p0.jpg?v=1763604770","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781474271134","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
