Literature Review from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies – Literature, grade: 2:1, Falmouth University, course: Novel Writing, language: English, abstract: This essay explores the novel Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway and its uses of genre, form and characterisation to express concerns and meanings behind death and the modern mind.
The genre as steampunk fills the novel full of wondrous inventions from a battle train called the Lovelace, to a gigantic submarine. By referencing articles and works focusing on the construction of the novel and the meanings modern fiction generates, I will argue towards Nick Harkaway’s use of narration and time to develop a story which adapts reality. His use of characters is intriguing as they have a close relationship with the plot, inviting the reader to explore a universe where everything is a cog in a machine.
