Barry Hines's novel A Kestrel for a Knave, adapted for the screen
as Kes, is one of the best-known and well-loved novels of the
post-war period, while his screenplay for the television drama
Threads is central to a Cold War-era vision of nuclear attack. But
Hines published a further eight novels and nine screenplays between
the 1960s and 1990s, as well as writing eleven other works which
remain unpublished and unperformed. This study examines the
entirety of Hines's work. It argues that he used a great variety of
aesthetic forms to represent the lives of working-class people in
Britain during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and into the post-industrial
conclusion of the twentieth century. It also makes the case that,
as well as his literary flair for poetic realism, Hines's authorial
contributions to the films of his novels show the profoundly
collaborative nature of these works. -- .
