Index


`Yeats, Eliot, Auden, Larkin; Wells, Lawrence, Greene, Murdoch; Shaw, Priestley, Osborne, Wesker; Grierson, Richards, Leavis - many people have read widely among the leading poets, novelists, dramatists, and critics of the twentieth century, yet for the general reader very few books have tried to relate all the main movements and innovators since the 1880s to the changing English scene.

This edition of The Modern Writer and His World has largely been re-written and contains fresh chapters on developments in the 1950s - the new wave of novelists, `anger` in the theatre, the Movement and the Group in poetry. It is, in effect, a new book and still the only one to offer the intelligent non-specialist reader both an analysis of the major writers (and most of the minor ones) and also an overall awareness of the total literary and social scene as something from which the great, apparently isolated, figures cannot be divorced.

After an introductory survey, `The Background of Ideas`, the author deals in turn with poetry, the novel, drama, and criticism. Here, from the opening pages on the meaning of `modernism` to the closing appreciation of Auden`s `The Dyer`s Hand`, is the world of the modern writer.`
