British Avant-Garde Fiction Of The 1960S - 9781474436199

This collection brings together a selection of original, research-led essays on more than a dozen avant-garde British writers of the 1960s, revealing this to be a crucial - and crucially overlooked - period of British literary history. Exploring the experiments in language, structure, genre and subject matter of writers from Ann Quin and Christine Brooke-Rose, to B.S. Johnson and Alexander Trocchi, the contributors reveal the diversity of material produced in this period and trace the complex relations of influence and indebtedness between the 60s avant-garde, earlier modernisms and later postmodern writing.
