Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. 'Postwar' is both a period and a state of mind, a sensibility comprised of hope, fear and fatigue in which British society and its writers paradoxically yearned both for political transformation and a nostalgic re-instatement of past securities. From the Labour landslide victory of 1945 to the emergence of the Cold War and the humiliation of Suez in 1956, this was a period of radical political transformation in Britain and beyond, but these changes resisted literary assimilation. Arguing that writing and history do not map straightforwardly one onto the other, and that the postwar cannot easily be fitted into the explanatory paradigms of modernism or postmodernism, this book offers a more nuanced recognition of what was written and read in the period. From wartime radio writing to 1950s travellers, cold war poetry to radical theatre, magazine cultures to popular fiction, this volume examines important debates that animated postwar Britain. The writing of this period offers fresh insight into cultural reconstruction and the difficulty of writing about cataclysmic events. Through a historical approach that re-instates forgotten writers and re-evaluates well-known names, readers will see the period anew. This book will be a key resource for scholars of twentieth-century British literature. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
