Geopolitics and the Anglophone novel, 1890-2011

Summary: "Geopolitics and the Anglophone Novel, 1890-2011 Literary fiction is a powerful cultural tool for criticizing governments and for imagining how better governance and better states would work. Combining political theory with strong readings of a vast range of novels, John Marx shows that fiction over the long twentieth century has often envisioned good government not in utopian but in pragmatic terms. Early-twentieth-century novels by Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster, and Rabindrananth Tagore helped forecast world government after European imperialism. Twenty-first-century novelists such as Monica Ali, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Michael Ondaatje, and Amitav Ghosh have inherited that legacy and continue to criticize existing policies in order to formulate best practices on a global scale."--
