Volume Seven of the Oxford History of the Novel in English offers the fullest and most nuanced account available of the last eight decades of British prose fiction.

a fascinating compendium of a lot of very lifelike activity from British and Irish novelists over the past seventy years * Ben Jeffery, Times Literary Supplement *
There are important attempts to rethink national identity, to rearticulate the relationship between history and the novel and to define the cultural work of the novel nowCritics of the contemporary, in particular, will find much here to ponder. * Dominic Head, Review of English Studies *
