This new Cambridge History is the first major history of
twentieth-century English literature to cover the full range of
writing in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The volume also
explores the impact of writing from the former colonies on English
literature of the period and analyses the ways in which
conventional literary genres were shaped and inflected by the new
cultural technologies of radio, cinema and television. In providing
an authoritative narrative of literary and cultural production
across the century, this History acknowledges the claims for
innovation and modernisation that characterise the beginning of the
period. At the same time, it attends analytically to the more
profound patterns of continuity and development which avant-garde
tendencies characteristically underplay. Containing all the virtues
of a Cambridge History, this new volume is a major event for anyone
concerned with twentieth-century literature, its cultural context
and its relation to the contemporary.
