Description:
After the War offers a panoramic yet detailed account of modem fiction, asking tough, fundamental questions – what has gone wrong with English novels? Why do they seem so feeble compared to the giants of the Victorian age? Is it the fault of the writing or the fragmented modem world the writers try to capture? Is the novel of ‘character’ no longer possible? D.J. Taylor provides judicious readings of a host of authors – from Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell to Kingsley Amis, Malcolm Bradbury, John Fowles, A.S. Byatt, Ian McEwan and many more, both well known and less familiar. Following this path we can trace a particular tradition and can even define, for the first time, the Thatcherite novel’. History appears from a different perspective, as writers respond to changing social conditions and aspirations, from the post-war dreams of the Attlee government and the Festival of Britain, through the ‘liberal dilemmas’ of the ’60s and `70s to the consumer boom of the last decade and the ’90s recession. A brilliant survey, After the War is also attacking, pointed and original, taking a deliberately ‘unfashionable’ stance, relating novels directly to the world that produces them and that they in turn depict and influence. No future discussion of the novel, or of `Englishness’, can ignore this book.
