Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British culture has changed almost beyond recognition since 1956. Angry young men have been displaced by Yuppies, Elvis by the Spice Girls, and meat and two veg by continental cuisine. What is more, as the death of Diana, Princess of Wales showed, the British are now more famous for a trembling lower lip than a stiff upper one. This volume, the last in the series, examines the transformations in literature and culture over the last forty years. An introductory essay provides a context for the following chapters by arguing that although there have been significant changes in British life, there are also profound continuities. It also discusses the rise of 'theory' and its impact on the humanities. Each essay in the volume concentrates on a facet of British culture over the last half century from painting to poetry, from the seriousness of the novel to the postmodern ironies of the computing age. What we get from this selection is not only an informed history of the relations between literature and culture but also a lively sense of cultural change, not least of which is the new found relationship between literature and other arts which ushers us into the new millennium.

Download or read book The Oxford English Literary History: Volume 12: The Last of England? written by Randall Stevenson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Literature in the 1960s soon threw off its post-war weariness and the tepid influences of the previous decade. New voices, new visions, and new commitments profoundly reshaped writing during the 60s, and throughout the rest of the century. Drama thrived on its rapidly rebuilt foundations. New freedoms of style and form revitalised fiction. Poetry, too, gradually recovered the variety and inventiveness of earlier years. As well as comprehensively charting these changes in the literary field, Randall Stevenson persuasively pinpoints their origins in the historical, social, and intellectual pressures of the times. Literary developments are revealingly related to the wider evolution and profound changes in English experience in the late twentieth-century to shadows of war and loss of empire; declining influences of class; shifting relations between the genders; emergent minority and counter-cultures; and the broadening democratization of contemporary life in general. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As literary and cultural studies expand into new areas of enquiry, the aim of this three-volume sequence is to provide an intertextual cultural history of modern Britain, one in which literary, cultural and historical processes are intimately connected. It is a survey in which culture is seen neither as a mere reflection of social forces nor as separate from such forces, but rather as a participating and moulding factor in the history of perception in this country throughout the twentieth century. This book covers the period 1930-1955. It began with Britain coming off the gold standard and ended with Harold Macmillan telling the British people that they had never had it so good. These were the years that saw the establishment of an interventionist state, the spread of mass culture, and the replacement of class consciousness by the celebration of consumerism. The essays in this volume consider how different forms of culture both facilitated and resisted these developments. Written in a lively and accessible manner, they provide a wealth of insight and information into the novels, the poetry, the theatre, the popular fiction, the painting, the press, the cinema, the radio, the music and the technology of the period. Not only do they constitute an excellent guide to these diverse cultural forms, they also provide a valuable historical perspective on current debates about the nature and role of culture in society.
