"Acheson's edited volume will prove invaluable for a wide audience including the erudite reader, students, and teachers of contemporary British fiction, as well as research scholars in this field.--�va Szab�, University of Debrecen ""Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies"" Editor James Acheson's latest selection of essays by leading scholars in the field, The Contemporary British Novel Since 2000, takes the reader forward from the point where his earlier collection, The Contemporary British Novel Since 1980, left off. Since the beginning of the century, indeed, a number of gifted British novelists have come to the fore, and the present volume deals with the most widely read and best known amongst them. By challenging the reader's concept of what a novel should be like, these novelists are breaking new ground. In their readings of such works, James Acheson and his colleagues shed valuable light on a vibrant, ever-changing literary scene.--John Fletcher, University of East Anglia"
