explores
the
work
of
eight
Britisl.r
novelists
of what
is
commonly
ialled
the
postmodem

a
period

certificate
might
be
seen
to
coincide
with
Roland
Barthes,s
proclamation

death

author"(1968).
Regrctfully,
two
of
the
eight
writers are
no
longer
alive
(Angela
Carter
and
Malcolm
Bradbury),
but
all
eight
olthem
are
still
very
powerful
authors,

Authors.
The
introductory
section
aims
at
sketching
the
conceptual
framework
in
which
two
key
terms
_
authJr
and
identity
-
are
woven.
It
draws
attention
to
some
significant
literary
and
cultural
developments
that
have
affected
the
way
writing
and
reading
as
discursive
practices
have
been
performed^
in
what
optimistic people
will
preler
to
call,
avoiding
funerary
language,
the
Booker
priie
age
(whose
beginning
-
1969 -
roughly
coincides
with
the
pubiicaiion
of
Barthes's
above-mentioned
essay).

French
anti-author

AS
DIALOCIC
ARTIST:
DAVID LODGE
AND
THE
METANIORPHOSES
OF
CAIIPUS
FICTION
The
Lodge-Bradbury
writerly
lodge
(or
niche)
It is cuslomary
nowadays
lor
established
novelists
to teach
creative writing
in
universities,
a
trend started
after
World
War
II
in America.
From
1960
until
1987,
David
Lodge
combined
fiction
writing
with
an academic
career
(lecturer
in
English in
1960,
then
Professor
of
Modern
English
Literature
at
Birmingham
University
from
1976)
during which
he
taught
literature
and wrote
literary
criticism;
he
didn,t
teach creative
writing.
He
did
have
a way
of
teaching
writing,
though.
His
novels,
like
his
criticism,
explore
the
nature,
mechanisms
and
conventions
of
fiction
in
challenging
and entertaining
ways.
His
work
is
marked
by
the
influence
of Bakhtin's
dialogic
vision
of
the
language
of fiction,
by
structuralist
and
poststructuralist
views
on literature,
meaning
and
the
death
or
survival
of
the
author
as
the
authoritative
originator
of
meaning,
as well
as
by distinct
socio-cultilral
developments
in
post-war
Britain,
in
the
U.S.
and
in
the
world
at large.
_
There
is
also
one
particular
friendship
that
appears
tohave
played an important
part
in
the
shaping
of his
inaividual
artistic
identity
at the
time
of
the
de-centered

and

FRIENDLY
(AND
LESS
FRIENDLY)
FIRE IN THE
BATTLE
OF
THE
SEXES:
FAY }\,ELDON
Fay-minism, feminism
and
postmodrnism
Fay Weldon
emerged
as a significant writer
at
the
time
feminism
was gaining
ground
in
the
postwar years,
more
specifically
in
the
late
1960s,
and
she has
had a very
special
relationship
with
it,
showing
the
various
"subject-positions"
she
has
assumed
both
in
her
life
as a
woman
and
in
her
literary
career.
Simone
de Beauvoir's
Le
Deuxieme
Sexe
(1949)
had
become
a relerence
text
in the
critique
of
the roles forced
on
women
by
society,
on
the
cultural
constructions
of
identity
women
had
to
make
do with.
Woman,
irrespective of
race
and
class
had
been
seen
as
the
Other
in
relation
to
whom rational
man
used
to
define
himself.
Betty
Friedan'
s The
Feminine Mystique
(
1963)
debunked
the
m1,th
of
suburban
female
domestic
bliss
in
post-
war
affluent
America,
whose
less harsh rhetoric
is
bound
to
have
led
to Weldon's
devastating
fictional
blows
in The
Life
and
Loves
ofa
She-Devil.
One
of
the
important
polemical
texts
of
the time
was
Kate
Miltet's

(1970),

POSTMODERN

DISRUPTIVE

The

Angela Carter
is
still
(despite
an
early
death
in
1992,
at
the age
of 52)
one
of
the
British
writers
most
actively
invoived
in
the
reconsideration
of
authorship
and
ol tr.aditional
cultural
codes
and
discourses,
as
one
of
the
most
prominent
authors
of
"writerly
texts",
to
use
Barthes,s
phrase.
paradoxically,
she
is a
very
strong_
figure,
vcry
much
alivc,
of
the
age
that
Barthes
blesses
with
another
famous
phrasc,
,.of
the
death
of the

She
is

the
most prominent
lemale
author
in
Britain
not.to
have

or
noi
having
becn
shortlisted
for,
the prestrgrous
Booker
prize,
probably
as
a
result
of a
certain
prevalllng
masculinist
bias
in
the
critical
circles
olthe
age.
In
his
1968
essay,
Barthes
invites
readers
to"engage
wrth
writerly
texts
and
be instrumenlal
in

of a

THE
MYS'IERIES
OF HISTORY:
GRAHAM
SWIFT
From
"mimetic
representation" to
"performative
historiography"
Graham
Swift's
literary
career has
already
spanned a
qulrter
of
a
century,
since the
publication
of
his
first
novel,
Thc
Swee -
Shop
Owner
(1980).
tt
came
as
the natural
continuation ofthe
earlier
fomrative
years
of
a
bright
suburban
boy,
the
sou
of a
civil
servant. Graham
Srvift,
those
who
have
read
ll'aterlttnd
and
who
have
been
impressed
by
the
author's
thorough
knorvledge
of the Fens
rvill
be
surprised
to find out,
rvas
born
in
1949 in Catford,
South
Lontlon,
attendcd
a
good
public
school
bcforc hc
went
10 Canibridge,
where
he
read English
(he
graduated
in 1970). Norv
the
surprisc
is
somewhat
dispclled:
the
Fens, the haunting
setting
in Ll'aterland,
lie
east
ol
Cambridge.
It is
also
significant
that the
setting for
his
most
highly
critically
acclairncd
lasl
Orders
is
South
London.
Swilt's
ultimate recognition
as
the
worthy
recipient
of
the 1996 Booker Prize for Last
Orders is
the
culmination
of c
creative
journey
whose
landmarks are such
novels
as
Waterland
and Ever After,
where
the recuperation
of
liistc\ry
in
various,
sometimes contradictory
forms,
features
prominently.
