But while most studies of this generation end with the coming of World War 2, Gorra follows these novelists throughout their careers. The result is a book that not only shows how the British novel‘s increasing consciousness of its own limitations stands as a mirror to the country‘s loss of power, but also provides memorable portraits of four major twentieth century writers. | | 出版日期 | Book 1990 | | 关键词 | 20th century; Britain; British novel; consciousness; English; George Orwell; Great Britain; knowledge; Moder | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-11457-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-11459-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-11457-3 | | copyright | Michael Gorra 1990 |
