Produktbeschreibung
Analyses of the rise of literary theory, of publishing and the book trade, and of the pervasive influences of modernism and postmodernism contribute further to an impressively thorough, insightful description of writing in the later twentieth-century a literary period, Stevenson shows to be far more imaginative and exciting than has yet been recognised. Lucid, accessible, and engaging, this volume of the "Oxford English Literary History" presents a unique illumination of its age - one we have lived through, but are only just beginning to understand. The first full account of its period, it will set the agenda for discussion of late twentieth-century literature for many years to come.
Critics have scarcely begun to write about the development of English literature at the end of the twentieth century. In this volume, Stevenson lucidly and engagingly examines the full range of contemporary writing in England, along with the literary, intellectual, and historical movements which shaped it. The result is a fascinating account not only of individual writers and texts, but of the whole imagination of a period we have just lived through but barely begun to understand.
