British Novels in the 70s and 80s (Part 1)
This course will consider and analyse the following authors
and their texts. These are:
Magnus - George Mackay Brown.
Border Country - Raymond Williams.
They - Kay Dick.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - John Le Carre.
Waterland - Graham Swift.
These texts will provide a window into the different regions of
Britain during two decades of major change in the social fabric and
political nature of Britain, though several of our texts will trace
these changes back to the earlier part of the twentieth century,
and in doing so, we will encounter themes of identity, class and
the decline of Empire.
There will be much to prompt discussion and challenge our
assumptions.
