This book is the first study to chart these changing attitudes in 21st-century British fiction. \u003ci\u003eClimate Crisis and the 21st-Century British Novel\u003c\/i\u003e examines twelve works that reflect growing cultural awareness of climate crisis and participate in the reshaping of the stories that surround it. Central to this renegotiation are four narratives: environmental collapse, pastoral, urban and polar. Bringing ecocriticism into dialogue with narratology and a new body of contemporary writing, Astrid Bracke explores a wide range of texts, from Zadie Smith's \u003ci\u003eNW \u003c\/i\u003ethrough Sarah Hall's \u003ci\u003eThe Carhullan Army\u003c\/i\u003e and David Mitchell's \u003ci\u003eCloud Atlas \u003c\/i\u003eto the work of a new generation of novelists such as Melissa Harrison and Ross Raisin. As the book shows, post-millennial fictions provide the imaginative space in which to rethink the stories we tell about ourselves and the natural world in a time of crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAstrid Bracke\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in English Literature at HAN University of Applied Sciences (Nijmegen, The Netherlands).
