This volume traces transitions in British literature brought about
by the rapid, momentous and far-reaching changes of the 1960s and
1970s, illuminating a diverse range of authors, texts, genres and
movements. It looks at innovations in form, considering
experimental poetry, fiction and drama, and explores the literature
of emergent identities in race, gender, sexuality and class. It
considers changes in attitudes and in the mind itself: the growth
of environmentalism, perceptions of the past, psychedelia, the
sexual revolution, and information control. It examines local and
regional developments, visiting Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland
and northern England. Finally, it focuses on shifts within the
oeuvres of individual authors - two poets, two dramatists and a
novelist: Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, Harold Pinter and Caryl
Churchill, and Iris Murdoch.
