The Demotic Voice in Contemporary British Fiction
Details
This book is an assessment of narrative technique in contemporary British fiction, focusing on the experimental use of the demotic voice (regional or national dialects). The book examines the work of James Kelman, Graham Swift, Will Self and Martin Amis, amongst many others, from a practical as well as theoretical perspective.
'... for the more advanced creative writer at Masters and PHD level it could well prove to be a valuable critical source.' - David Manderson, Writing in Education
