Key Concepts in Contemporary Literature

By Steve Padley and John Peck

One of the main problems facing the student of contemporary literature is how to select from the huge volume of material available-those novels, poems, and plays that have had the most significant impact. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the themes, issues, and critical perspectives that have had the greatest influence on literature since World War II, and discusses the historical and contextual background that has affected the writing of the period.
