Uncover the hidden influence of eugenics in post-war British culture and literature. This insightful study traces eugenic ideas as a pervasive ‘style of thought’ across medicine, social policy, and popular culture. It critically examines how eugenics persisted and evolved after 1945, challenging the notion that it vanished with Nazi atrocities. Discover its complex representation in the works of iconic authors like Agatha Christie, Anthony Burgess, and Doris Lessing. Essential reading for scholars, students of literature, and anyone interested in British social history and cultural studies.
