Literature and The Contemporary: Fictions and Theories of the Present

by Peter Marks and Roger Luckhurst

At the end of the century, much criticism has become devoted to last things': the end of history, the end of the subject, the end of the novel, the end, even, of the end. Literature and the Contemporary, in contrast, aims to provide through twelve essays evidence of the way in which the literature of the 1990s is constantly engaging in questions of memory and history and the representation of time in the present day.
