Abstract:
The past century's culture wars that Britain has been consumed by have resulted in revised notions of Britishness and British literature. Yet literary anthologies remain anchored to an archaic Anglo-English interpretation of British literature. This generalist cultural study is a fascinating glimpse into Britain's changing identity as reflected in 20th and 21st century British literature"--Provided by publisher.
