Affluence After Anger

The article presents views of the author on the English cultural generation of the 1950's. Many people now see the thirties in England through that surviving sense of a generation the volunteers in the Spanish war, the Left intellectuals, the direct response in literature to fascism and the depression and the hunger marches. And it is generally believed that all this ended in the Second World War, a generation and its memorable structure of feeling were dispersed. Now people are beginning to see the fifties in much the same way: the new working-class writers, the attacks on the Establishment and the English class system, the questioning of affluence there, in that period, were the issues and the writers, indissolubly linked.
