How did social, cultural and political events in Britain during the
1950s shape modern British fiction? As Britain emerged from the
shadow of war into the new decade of the 1950s, the seeds of
profound social change were being sown. Exploring the full range of
fiction in the 1950s, this volume surveys the ways in which these
changes were reflected in British culture. Chapters cover the rise
of the 'Angry Young Men', an emerging youth culture and vivid new
voices from immigrant and feminist writers. A major critical
re-evaluation of the decade, the book covers such writers as
Margery Allingham, Kingsley Amis, E. R. Braithwaite, Rodney
Garland, Martyn Goff, Attia Hosain, George Lamming, Marghanita
Laski, Doris Lessing, Colin MacInnes, Naomi Mitchison, V. S.
Naipaul, Barbara Pym, Mary Renault, Sam Selvon, Alan Sillitoe, John
Sommerfield, Muriel Spark, J. R. R. Tolkien, Angus Wilson and John
Wyndham.
