Postwar British Fiction: New Accents And Attitudes - 9781107505414

Originally published in 1962, this book by James Gindin addresses the expanded scope of British writing in the wake of the Second World War, not only in terms of the increased equality between the classes but also of varied uses of humor, the impact of Britain's relationship with America and changes in literary style. Gindin shows how the work of authors such as Iris Murdoch, Kingsley Amis and Doris Lessing, among others, reflects the change in society's terms compared to their literary predecessors. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in modern English fiction.
