Money, Speculation and Finance in Contemporary British Fiction argues that recent British fiction
demystifies the weightless economy of contemporary money and critiques the popular sense of
money as being everywhere but nowhere. This monograph provides a comprehensive survey of a large
body of fictional texts that have striven to represent and understand the formative significance of
finance capital on contemporary culture. In these novels, the implications of finance capitalism for
political identity, for class politics, for the sovereignty of the nation state and a new global order
are all explored, dramatized and critiqued. Authors covered include Margaret Drabble, Ian McEwan,
Jonathan
Coe,
Alan Hollinghurst, Martin Amis and Malcolm Bradbury.
