This collection of essays by leading and emergent critics of
twentieth-century fiction offers a wide-ranging and provocative
reassessment of the British novel's achievements after modernism.
Focusing on mid-century writing, the book identifies continuities
of preoccupation - with national identity, historiography and the
challenge to literary form presented by public and private
violence--that span the entire century. The book offers new
readings of such famous figures as Amis, Golding, Greene and Spark,
and reappraises the work of brilliant but less familiar
contemporaries including Ann Quin, Elizabeth Taylor and Storm
Jameson.
