This book equips readers with the necessary tools to take an analytical and systematic approach to contemporary texts. The author provides answers to some of the critical questions in the field:

  • Is it possible to have a canon of contemporary literature?
  • How does a reader’s location affect their understanding?
  • How do print, electronic, and audio-visual media impact upon contemporary literature?
  • Which key concepts and themes are most prevalent?
