This book offers a comprehensive guide to global literary
engagement with the Cold War. Eschewing the common focus on
national cultures, the collection defines Cold War literature as an
international current focused on the military and ideological
conflicts of the age and characterised by styles and approaches
that transcended national borders. Drawing on specialists from
across the world, the volume analyses the period's fiction, poetry,
drama and autobiographical writings in three sections: dominant
concerns (socialism, decolonisation, nuclearism, propaganda,
censorship, espionage), common genres (postmodernism, socialism
realism, dystopianism, migrant poetry, science fiction, testimonial
writing) and regional cultures (Asia, Africa, Oceania, Europe and
the Americas). In doing so, the volume forms a landmark
contribution to Cold War literary studies which will appeal to all
those working on literature of the 1945-1989 period, including
specialists in comparative literature, postcolonial literature,
contemporary literature and regional literature.
