Love, Children, and Night Train -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 8 $aAn innovative study of two of England's most popular, controversial, and influential writers, Father and Son breaks new ground in examining the relationship between Kingsley Amis and his son, Martin Amis. Through intertextual readings of their essays and novels, Gavin Keulks examines how the Amises' work negotiated the boundaries of their personal relationship while claiming territory in the literary debate between mimesis and modernist aesthetics. Theirs was a battle over the nature of reality itself, a twentieth-century realism war conducted by loving family members and rival, antithetical writers. Keulks argues that the Amises' relationship functioned as a source of literary inspiration and that their work illuminates many of the structural and stylistic shifts that have characterized the British novel since 1950. 517 3 $aKingsley Amis, Martin Amis, and the British novel since 1950 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFathers and sons$zGreat Britain 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFathers and sons 676 $a823/.91409 700 $aKeulks$b Gavin$01162202 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960564903321 996 $aFather and son$92806250 997 $aUNINA
