Jubilation Road: a novel and exegesis

This practice-led PhD consists of a novel as artefact and exegesis. The novel is titled ‘Jubilation Road’. The research contributes to knowledge by exploring the potential relationships between nature, person, and fiction against an eco-critical framework. It considers questions such as how nature might be represented in fiction, the ways that character and landscape can be entwined in the production of a story, and the uses and challenges of creating a multiprotaginist narrative. It also evaluates the application of theories of the shamanic and whether these can be used to shape narrative structure and character development within fiction.
