Contemporary women’s fiction through metafiction and historical reimagining

This critical collection brings together essays on contemporary women writers from North America, Australia, and the UK. It examines formal experimentation at the meeting point of fiction and fact, while questioning the customary divide between popular and literary writing. History is a central concern: the volume considers how these writers reshape historical material and how such reconfigurations invite new critical approaches. With its comparative, essay-based structure, the book offers a focused scholarly lens on metafiction, metahistory, and contemporary women’s writing across several English-language contexts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and scholars of contemporary literature
  • Readers researching women’s writing in North America, Australia, and the UK
  • Those interested in metafiction, historiography, and literary criticism
