Brexlit [EPUB ebook] 
British Literature and the European Project

Britain»s vote to leave the European Union in the summer of 2016 came as a shock to many observers. But writers had long been exploring anxieties and fractures in British society – from Euroscepticism, to immigration, to devolution, to post-truth narratives – that came to the fore in the Brexit campaign and its aftermath.
Reading these tensions back into contemporary British writing, Kristian Shaw coins the term
Brexlit to deliver the first in-depth study of how writers engaged with these issues before and after the referendum result. Examining the work of over a hundred British authors, including Julian Barnes, Jonathan Coe, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Ali Smith, as well as popular fiction by Andrew Marr and Stanley Johnson,
Brexlit explores how a new and urgent genre of post-Brexit fiction is beginning to emerge.
