Description

This comprehensive study examines postwar English literature through the lens of imperial decline, tracing how novelists from George Orwell and William Golding to Penelope Lively, Alan Hollinghurst and Ian McEwan grappled with England's shifting global position. The book analyses multiple genres including family sagas, travel writing, detective fiction and popular romances, each reflecting on how writers of the period interpreted the end of empire and its consequences for English identity and culture. Published by Manchester University Press, this first book-length exploration reveals the diverse literary responses to Britain's loss of imperial power and its profound impact on postwar society.
