But writers had long been exploring anxieties and fractures in British society – from Euroscepticism, to immigration, to devolution, to post-truth narratives – that came to the fore in the Brexit campaign and its aftermath. \u003cbr\u003eReading these tensions back into contemporary British writing, Kristian Shaw coins the term \u003ci\u003eBrexlit\u003c\/i\u003e to deliver the first in-depth study of how writers engaged with these issues before and after the referendum result. Examining the work of over a hundred British authors, including Julian Barnes, Jonathan Coe, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Ali Smith, as well as popular fiction by Andrew Marr and Stanley Johnson, \u003ci\u003eBrexlit\u003c\/i\u003e explores how a new and urgent genre of post-Brexit fiction is beginning to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKristian Shaw\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Lincoln, UK.
