Review:
..."a fast-paced survey of future possible conclusions about the relationship between British literature and the national consciousness."--W.B. Warde, Jr., Choice
"John Brannigan has generated a new analysis of literature in the second half of the 20th century, sidestepping many of the traditional preoccupations, foregrounding a distinctive array of texts. His book fizzes with insights; it will become a necessary reference point." -- Alan Sinfield, University of Sussex
..."a significant addition to the field of post-war British literary studies, ongoing debates on the nature and fate of 'Englishness, ' and recent critical interrogations of the concept of periodicity. Admirably wide-ranging, filled with subtle and insightful readings and written in a lucid, consistently eloquent prose style, Brannigan's study will prove essential reading to anyone interested in the past half-century of British writing, the scattered itineraries of Englishness that writing maps, and the nature of the work literary theory performs in addressing the idea of a literary period. It is an excellent and rewarding book." -- Ian Baucom, Duke University
