'First you get the money': anachronism, Brexit, and King Arthur in Lavie Tidhar's By Force Alone

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Lavie Tidhar’s By Force Alone (2020) deploys intentional anachronisms in its self-reflexive and violent representation of the Arthurian legends. By Force Alone is a savage critique of the discourse of the Brexit campaign; by undercutting the myths that built Britain, the novel exposes the twin lies of narrative and nationhood.
