Ian Carter

Ancient Cultures of Conceit

British University Fiction in the Post-War Years

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Witty and penetrating, this interdisciplinary study, first published in 1990, explores the culture celebrated in British university fiction. This is a culture rooted in the ivory towers of Oxbridge, a culture under threat from the proletarians, women, foreigners, and social scientists who flood the university with their 'alien ways'.
