Essays by leading scholars reveal the range and intensity of women writers? engagement with post-war transformations including the founding of the Welfare State, the gradual liberalization of attitudes to gender and sexuality and the reconfiguration of Britain and the empire in the context of the Cold War. Attending closely to the politics of form, the sixteen essays range across ?literary?, ?middlebrow? and ?popular? genres, including espionage thrillers and historical fiction, children?s literature and science fiction, as well as poetry, drama and journalism. They examine issues including realism and experimentalism, education, class and politics, the emergence of ?second-wave? feminism, responses to the Holocaust and mass migration and diaspora. The volume offers an exciting reassessment of women?s writing at a time of radical social change and rapid cultural expansion. . 410 0$aHistory of British Women's Writing 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aFiction 606 $aSociology 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aLiterary History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aFiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aSociology. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aFiction. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a809.04 702 $aHanson$b Clare$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWatkins$b Susan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255089203321 996 $aThe History of British Women's Writing, 1945-1975$92081439 997 $aUNINA
