What were the achievements of the 'angry' writers who emerged in
the fifties? Historically, they gave birth to the satire movement
of the 1960s-Beyond the Fringe, That Was the Week that Was and
Private Eye. Their satire and irreverence aroused enthusiasm in
man, and a new 'anti-Establishment' mood developed from Look Back
in Anger and The Outsider. All literary movements acquire enemies,
but the Angry Young Men of the 1950s accumulated more than most.
Why? Wilson takes us on a journey back to this era, and reveals
fascinating and sometimes disturbing stories from the Greats,
including John Osborne, Kingsley Amis, Kenneth Tynan and John
Braine-to name but a few. At all events, the story of that period
makes a marvellously lively tale which, most importantly, was
recorded by someone who was actually there.
