The Oxford English Literary History is the new century's definitive
account of a rich and diverse literary heritage that stretches back
for a millennium and more.
Each of these groundbreaking volumes offers a leading scholar's
considered assessment of the authors, works, cultural traditions,
events, and ideas that shaped the literary voices of their age. The
series will enlighten and inspire not only everyone studying,
teaching, and researching in English Literature, but all serious
readers.
In the future will there be a literary history of England, or will
it be an English-language literary history? This important volume
in the new Oxford English Literary History covers colonial,
postcolonial, and immigrant writers since 1948. After the wave of
decolonization following World War II and the growth of large
immigrant communities in England, Bruce King asks the questions:
Can we still talk of the English nation as a cultural unit? What
does it mean to be British, English, or national? In his
broad-ranging discussion, he covers such topics as Black British
Poetry and Drama, Commonwealth Literature, and British African
Literature, and looks in depth at writers such as V. S. Naipaul,
Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi, and Zadie Smith.
King writes from the conviction that it is wrong to assume that
national cultures are finished. As he lucidly and persuasively
demonstrates, a large, accomplished, socially significant body of
writing in England sits between and overlaps with an older British
tradition and its various sub-divisions, new national literatures,
a post-imperial Commonwealth tradition, and contemporary global
literature.
