Reader reviews for Harvest of the Sixties: English Literature and Its Background 1960 to 1990 (Opus)

From the publisher

This engaging book sets English literature since 1960 in its political and cultural context. From the end of empire in the sixties, through the attempts in the 1970s to maintain a "common culture" through education, good literature, and state subsidies for the Arts, to the 1980s when there was a shift toward the acknowledgement of a multiplicity of cultures, this was a period of considerable change and development. Waugh looks at the effects of the fragmentation of English culture and examines the new and varied voices that grew up as a result of this proliferation of cultures.

From the rear cover

The period covered by this book began with the furore over Lady Chatterley's Lover and closed with the controversy caused by Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses. The Harvest of the Sixties puts the literature of this period in its cultural, political, and intellectual context, beginning with changes resulting from the end of empire, followed by attempts in the 1970s to maintain a 'common culture', through to the 1980s, which saw a shift towards the acknowledgement of cultural diversity. Patricia Waugh looks at the effects upon English literature of changes in culture and society throughout this period and makes reference to its wealth of literary talent, including writers and dramatists such as Kingsley Amis, Kazuo Ishiguro, Tom Stoppard, Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, and many more.
