Post-War British Literature and the End of Empire examines novels by white British writers who emerged during the immediate post-war decades including Anthony Burgess, Graham Greene, William Golding, Alan Sillitoe and Colin MacInnes, among others and contends that they not only depict decolonization within its global context but often propose a solution to Britain’s imperial decline through cultural renewal. This book re-conceives twentieth-century British literature from the mid-century period to make central the processes of decolonization and mass immigration.
