Description
  • While most of the American campus novels are set exclusively in the United States, many of their British counterparts, like David Lodge's Changing Places (1975) or Small World (1984), feature multiple settings, the US being the most prominent one after the UK. Moreover, even other campus novels whose storylines take place exclusively in Britain make frequent references to both American academia and the larger cultural environment. Thus, in my presentation, I will survey the image of America in major British campus novels from Malcolm Bradbury's Stepping Westward (1965) to Zadie Smith's On Beauty (2005). As campus novels generally oscillate between portraying the university as an enclosed pastoral world and making selected elements of the educational institutions targets of satire, I will concentrate on what aspects of American academic life become both idealized and satirized in British texts belonging to this particular genre.
