Bøger af J. Brannigan

A critical survey of the principal themes and styles of literature in England since 1945. John Brannigan examines the complex nature of the relationship between literature and history, society and place, and argues that postwar literature is concerned with themes of social and cultural change.

New historicism and cultural materialism emerged in the early 1980s as prominent literary theories and came to represent a revival of interest in history and in historicising literature.
