Learning on ScreenDecline of British Fiction, The
- Synopsis
- Patrica Waugh and Jennifer Hodgson discuss their motivations for writing their article ‘On the Exaggerated Reports of a Decline in British Fiction,' published in The White Review arts journal. In this podcast, they explain how we look at twentieth century literature through a series of historical phases, such as modernism and postmodernism and argue that this blinds us to the stylistic and formal continuities that can be found running through innovative British fiction from the nineteenth century to the present literary moment.
