Black makes engaging and provocative connections among a variety of networked literatures, moving skillfully between fanfiction, literary fiction, and genre fiction, including comic books, romance novels, and other commercial forms. The broad range of extremely well-chosen texts she discusses in this book makes it practically unique and a must-read for scholars working at the exciting intersection of digital fiction, fanfiction, and experimental fiction.

The book begins by exploring digital fanfiction as a site of literary resistance and a form of literature that can only exist in the age of networked communications. Next it examines epistolary fiction, where networked digital literature offers a different mode of subjectivity than that associated with the traditional novel. Finally, the book addresses two novels that incorporate aspects of networked literatures (fanfiction and comic books) to stake a claim for their enduring primacy as a literary form. \t\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eBetween Novel and Network\u003c\/i\u003e adds to conversations about how networked communication technologies affect literary form, content, metaphors, and reception. Readers will trace how concepts such as authorship, originality, intertextuality, and literary value play out across the digital literary sphere. As well as building upon the place of fanfiction in the literary field, Suzanne R. Black also offers a reappraisal of the place and characteristics of the novel in the twenty-first century as part of a larger literary ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52694447030552,"sku":"9780807186428","price":31.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/between-novel-and-network-technology-and-literary-form-in-fiction-and-fanfiction-hardback-9780807186428","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
