Omschrijving
Youth Culture and the Post-War British Novel is a lively contribution to a growing area of postwar and contemporary literary studies. Ross’s style is at once accessible and engaging, and his book offers new ways of thinking about the importance of youth culture to a range of novels from the latter half of the twentieth century.

Ross’s style is at once accessible and engaging, and his book offers new ways of thinking about the importance of youth culture to a range of novels from the latter half of the twentieth century.
This is a nimble and user-friendly study tour of British youth culture navigating a series of iconic post-WWII novels. From Ted to Mod, Droog to Punk, Rude Boy to Sick Boy and Renton, Stephen Ross ably takes on All the Young Dudes, providing a highly engaging and well-researched context for reading novels that, in his words, “think with and about” changing forms of generation, style, class, masculinity, sexuality, and nationality.
In Stephen Ross’s important, compellingly readable account, he shows how fiction not only thinks about youth culture but thinks with it, to address anxieties about authenticity, masculinity, and generational identity.
Stephen Ross is Professor of English at the University of Victoria, Canada. He is Past-President of the Modernist Studies Association (2015/16), General Editor of The Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism Online and co-editor (with Derek Ryan) of The Handbook to the Bloomsbury Group (Bloomsbury, 2018).
