The Present Age in British Literature by David Daiches is a comprehensive analysis of the literary trends and movements that emerged in Britain during the mid-20th century. The book explores the works of prominent authors such as George Orwell, T.S. Eliot, and W.H. Auden, and examines how their writing reflected the social and political changes of the time. Daiches delves into the themes of alienation, disillusionment, and anxiety that were prevalent in the literature of the period, and discusses how these works were influenced by the trauma of World War II and the rise of totalitarian regimes. The book also explores the emergence of new literary forms, such as the angry young men movement and the Theatre of the Absurd. Overall, The Present Age in British Literature provides a comprehensive overview of the literary landscape of mid-20th century Britain, and offers insights into the cultural and historical forces that shaped it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
