520 3 |a This article examines Adam Thorpe's novel Ulverton (1992) as a prime example of what literature can achieve from its increasingly marginalized position in an unfolding media culture. It traces in detail how the novel combines a thematic focus on the history of the fictional village of Ulverton from the 17th century to the present with a formal staging of unfolding conditions of mediality which are in turn utilized as a medium of narrative progression. The novel's self-reflexive engagement with the interrelation between media history and modernization is based on a flexible post-modernist poetics of "putting things up against each other” which establishes the genre of fiction as a kind of ‘meta-medium' for storing and communicating information as well as for processing cultural relativity.
