From the Teddy Boys of the post-war decade to the heroin chic of
"Cool Britannia," the many subcultures of Britain's teenagers have
often been at the forefront of social change. Youth Culture and the
Post-War British Novel is the first book to chart that history
through the work of some of the most influential contemporary
British writers. In this vivid work of cultural history, Stephen
Ross explores: * The manic teenage vision of Absolute Beginners *
The Angry Young Men of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning *
Skinheads and Burgess's A Clockwork Orange * Irony and authenticity
in the 1980s - from Amis to Kureishi * Heroin chic, disaffection
and Trainspotting Examining the cultural contexts of some of the
most important and popular post-1945 British novels, the book
covers such themes as crises of masculinity, multiculturalism and
inter-generational conflict, and in doing so casts new light on
British writing today.
