Reviews

Post-War British Literature and the 'End of Empire' makes a useful intervention in the study of English writing in the post-war period, shedding light on how empire was represented by some of its most critical servants at a time of intense change. (John Brannigan, Modern Language Review, Vol. 114 (4), October, 2019)
