First published in 1983, this book focuses on the twentieth-century
writer as both a product, and an interpreter, of his or her
society. It explores the social basis of our conceptions of
literature and the ways in which writing is affected by the media,
institutional and technical, through which it reaches readers. The
text looks at experiences of the period in terms of domestic and
world affairs, sexuality, and philosophical and religious
attitudes. It discusses the social and economic structures which
specifically affect the act of writing, and considers the dominant
developments of the period in three genres: novels, poetry and
writing for theatre.
