Description
British Literature in Transition, 1960–1980: Flower Power offers a comprehensive exploration of how the Flower Power movement shaped British literary culture during two decades of profound social change. Kate McLoughlin examines the works of major authors, poets, and playwrights who responded to and were influenced by the countercultural revolution, technological advancement, and shifting political landscapes of the 1960s and 1970s.
This volume analyzes the diverse literary responses to the era’s defining characteristics: youth rebellion, anti-war sentiment, sexual liberation, and experimentation with form and content. McLoughlin contextualizes significant literary works within the broader cultural moment, demonstrating how writers engaged with contemporary issues of identity, society, and artistic expression. The study covers multiple genres including novels, poetry, and drama, providing readers with a thorough understanding of how British literature evolved during this pivotal transitional period.
