British Fiction and the Cold War offers a unique analysis of the
wide-ranging responses of British novelists to the international
events and controversies of the East-West conflict between 1945 and
1989. Making reference to over 150 novelists and 800 works of
fiction, this book analyses the treatment of such domestic and
geopolitical currents as Soviet internationalism, nuclearism,
clandestinity, decolonisation, US superpowerdom and the decline of
the British socialist movement, and explores the literary forms
which writers developed to capture the complexities of the age. In
doing so, British Fiction and the Cold War presents a
ground-breaking contribution to scholarship on modern/contemporary
British fiction, challenging accusations of provincialism levelled
at authors of the period and opening up numerous avenues for new
research and debate.
