New areas of novel writing

  At the onset of the twentieth century, Western fiction grew modern and shed many images such as Victorian, realistic, and its image of what Malcom Bradbury calls “the great instrument of social representation”. It found a place for itself when paradigms were shifting, along with expectations, desires and imagination. At the end of the twentieth century different forms of the novel had taken centre stage. By the time we entered the new millennium the novel as a genre saw striking changes. A large number of writers who had contributed tremendously to post war British fiction had died. Novelists such as, Graham Greene (died in 1991), William Golding and Anthony Burgess (1993), Kingsley Amis (1995), Iris Murdoch (1999) and Penelope Fitzgerald in 2000, Arthur C Clarke in March, 2008. The millennium offered great cultural excitement and impetus to new writers. But what was also happening is that some essential notions of the novel and its British ness were rapidly dissolving and getting lost and the stage was now set for writers from other cultures such as from Scotland, Ireland and India to name just a few.
