Sarah Waters and the Politics of Genre / Mark Llewellyn.

In recent years, historical fiction, particularly that by women authors, has been at the cutting edge of postmodern reconceptualisations ofthe past and of contemporary worlds. This collection examines the dynamic experimentation of contemporary women writers from North America, Australia, andthe UK, offering new insights into the works of internationally acclaimed as well as popular writers, including Florence Barclay, A. S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Caryl Churchill, Helen Darville, Stevie Davies, Eva Figes, Philippa Gregory, Susan Kenney, Daphne Marlatt, Sena Jeter Naslund, Michele Roberts, Alice Thompson, and Jeannette Winterson. Blurring the dichotomies of the popular and the literary,the fictional and the factual, and covering those narratives that defy categorisation, the essays assembled in this volume offer new approaches to reading contemporary women fiction writers' reconfigurations of history.
