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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103188 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107007 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a Englisch. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 650 7 $a Literatur. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 650 0 $a History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85061212 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 700 1 $a Plain, Gill, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96057275 830 0 $a British literature in transition series. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019067790 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F1AD0181B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
