- Summary:
- 'Art, History and Postwar Fiction' explores the ways in which novelists responded to the visual arts from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present day. If art had long served as a foil to enable novelists to reflect on their craft, this text argues that in the postwar period, novelists turned to the visual arts to develop new ways of conceptualizing the relationship between literature and history.
