Summary

Refuting the theory that postmodernist art is essentially non-adversarial and apolitical, this monograph argues that a major current of postmodernist fiction can be read as a dissident response to capitalistic developments that have transformed the field of language and communications.

Dissident Postmodernists by Paul Maltby

Critics who hold that postmodernist art is essentially adversarial and apolitical have ignored the historical context of the postmodern focus on the problems of language. Paul Maltby examines a major current of postmodernist fiction that can be read as a dissident response to developments of late capitalism that have transformed the field of language and communication.
Paul Maltby is Professor of English at West Chester University.
