Provides a synoptic view of the exuberant and challenging fiction, poetry and drama created in 1990s BritainPlacing literary creativity within a changing cultural and political context that saw the end of Margaret Thatcher and rise of New Labour, this book offers fresh interpretations of mainstream and marginal works from all parts of Britain.
