[...] an important and timely book for all scholars of twentieth-century British fiction, particularly those interested in formal innovation [...]--Wojciech Drąg, University of Wroclaw ""Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies (25.2)"" The coverage is superb - from well-known figures such as Muriel Spark to relatively neglected but important writers such as Eva Figes, each examined from a range of cultural, aesthetic and political perspectives. At last, the myth of the mid-century as an excluded middle - between the monolithic experimental 'isms' of the modern and the postmodern - is being exploded.-- ""Patricia Waugh, Durham University""
