The early years of the new millennium witnessed a range of exciting developments in contemporary writings in English. From innovations in recognised forms such as the novel, poem, play and short story to developments in digital writings, creative writings and genres. Alongside these developments, the publishing industry also changed, with technological advances giving rise to the dawn of the eBook and corporate sponsorship igniting debates about the usefulness of literary prizes and festivals. Growing out of Brighton’s C21 Research Centre, C21Research is dedicated to exploring these changes and C21Research offers a unique research environment that has the potential to become a hub for wider networks of research in this emerging field.
