British Culture of the Post-War: An Introduction to Literature and Society 1945-1999 Paperback - 2000
by Alastair Davies (Editor); Alan Sinfield (Editor)
First line
When the Second World War ended, millions of Britons took to the street to celebrate.
From the rear cover
The second half of the twentieth century was a period which saw huge political, social, technological and economic changes. These upheavals are mediated in often controversial innovations in literature, art, and cinema.
From Angus Wilson to Pat Barker and Salman Rushdie, British Culture of the Postwar is an ideal starting point for those studying these cultural developments in Britain of recent years. Chapters on individual people and art forms give a clear and concise overview of the progression of different genres. They also discuss the wider issues of Britain's relationships with America and Europe, and the idea of Britishness.
Each section is introduced with a short discussion of the major historical events of the period. Read as a whole, British Culture of the Postwar will give students a comprehensive introduction to this turbulent and exciting period, and a greater understanding of the cultural production arising from it.
