Summary

In defining postmodernism, this book compares and contrasts it with modernism by placing it in its historical context. Gregson discusses Jean-Francois Lyotard, Fredric Jameson and Jean Baudrillard - and demonstrates how their theories illuminate the work of postmodern novelists including Angela Carter and Salman Rushdie.

Postmodern Literature by Ian Gregson

The books in the Contexts series provide broad-ranging and accessible information about the literary, historical and cultural background of the major periods and genres, Taking its instigation from the ways in which literary texts define their own area of reference within their historical moment, each volume also questions canonical readings of its period, and contains relevant extracts from contemporary documents to aid further discussion.
