John Osborne, the original Angry Young Man, shocked and transformed British theater in the 1950s with his play Look Back in Anger. This startling biography–the first to draw on the secret notebooks in which he recorded his anguish and depression–reveals the notorious rebel in all his heartrending complexity. Through a working-class childhood and five marriages, Osborne led a tumultuous life. An impossible father, he threw his teenage daughter out of the house and never spoke to her again. His last written words were "I have sinned." Theater critic John Heilpern’s detailed portrait, including interviews with Osborne's daughter, scores of friends and enemies, and his alleged male lover, shows us a contradictory genius–an ogre with charm, a radical who hated change, and above all, a defiant individualist.

What were the achievements of the ’angry’ writers who emerged in the fifties? Historically, they gave birth to the satire movement of the 1960s-Beyond the Fringe, That Was the Week that Was and Private Eye. Their satire and irreverence aroused enthusiasm in man, and a new ‘anti-Establishment’ mood developed from Look Back in Anger and The Outsider. All literary movements acquire enemies, but the Angry Young Men of the 1950s accumulated more than most. Why? Wilson takes us on a journey back to this era, and reveals fascinating and sometimes disturbing stories from the Greats, including John Osborne, Kingsley Amis, Kenneth Tynan and John Braine-to name but a few. At all events, the story of that period makes a marvellously lively tale which, most importantly, was recorded by someone who was actually there.

Angry Young Men, an important western literary form, has jumped to spotlight in Britain in the 1950s. Its advent helps fill the then low tide of the literature with energy. It is known that in literature flourished in English literature for over 30 years, however, the writers of 1950s have taken place of modernism, which altered the traditions and practices of prewar British writing. It is the writers and their writings of 1950s who reflected the British society after the World War II, revealing the pursuit and way of life of the young after the World War II, presenting us with the vivid picture of the British society and the vicissitude of the times. On the basis of the review of current studies concerning Angry Young Men, the thesis provides an overall study of Angry Young Men on the base of analysis of the masterpiece of Angry Young Men writers, Kingsley Amis’ Lucky Jim, John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger and Philip Larkin’s poetry, including Angry Young Men’s background, from rebellion to resignation, a survey of the philosophical and aesthetic source and literary characteristics. The book is divided into six parts. The first part mainly discusses the background of Angry Young Men. The key issue of the social background is the influence of World War Ⅱ on the social and cultural climate of Britain. After World War II, the Britain was greatly destroyed by the war with stagnant economy, penurious material, hard lives, sharp class conflict, at the same time, the independence of colonial and semi-colonial countries became hot, the British Empire lost its position in the world, which made the feeling of anger crept in the British mind, especially in the mind of the young. All of this pave the way for the development of realism. In the literary background, the development of English literature in the 20th century is analyzed, based on the David Lodge’s Pendulum Theory of alternate appearance between modernism and anti-modernism, we know that the literature of 1950s is the product of the Pendulum Theory when the pendulum swayed back to the 1950s. Next section is the literary review. The literary review provides a picture of the current research on the Angry Yong Men, which helps establish the proper foundation and standpoint of my study. The second part is devoted to a survey of the philosophical and aesthetic source of Angry Young Men. The aim of the survey is modem Existentialism. The third part is a characteristic analysis based on the textual analysis of works. By doing so, the thesis tries to discover the characterization of anti-hero and the new perspective of the theme. The fourth part centers on an overall study of Angry Young Men, which covers the real reasons, the way to rebellion, looking for identity and limitations and resignation. The fifth part is a series study of Angry Young Men from a postmodern perspective, which focus on Philip Larkin’s poetry, Lucky Jim and Look Back in Anger. The sixth part is the conclusion. Based on the survey above, the thesis draws the following conclusion that under the certain milieu of the 1950s, the emergence and the development of Angry Young Men and the philosophical and aesthetical view they held is the product of British society, and the outcome of the rules of the development of English literature.

There may be more important literary movements than the Angry Young Men but there can be few as consciously (or unconsciously) entertaining. The Angry Young Men were an absurdly diverse group, often wildly at odds and, indeed, often wholly unacquainted with each other. This cavalcade of misunderstandings, wild statements, mediocrity and genuine achievement can now be seen as the first and most perfect example of how the media both helps and ruins literature. Humphrey Carpenter's extremely funny new book celebrates the strange group of varying talents who at different times were believed to be Angry Young Men.

Centering on the British kitchen sink realism movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s, specifically its documentation of the built environment's influence on class consciousness, this book highlights the settings of a variety of novels, plays, and films, turning to archival research to offer new ways of thinking about how spatial representation in cultural production sustains or intervenes in the process of social stratification. As a movement that used gritty, documentary-style depictions of space to highlight the complexities of working-class life, the period's texts chronicled shifts in the social and topographic landscape while advancing new articulations of citizenship in response to the failures of post-war reconstruction. By exploring the impact of space on class, this book addresses the contention that critical discourse has overlooked the way the built environment informs class identity.

Soul Trains shows how the interaction of social classes and ethnic communities, and the growth of a music industry, created new music in the United States and Britain. A central question addressed is how popular perceptions of " authentic" musical expression are influenced by attempts to control or modify musical taste. The dynamic of musical innovation in capitalist society emerges from a process conditioned by historical events, language, and cultural traditions acting variously as forces for rebellion, resistance or reaction. This book avoids abstract language or jargon. It shows how popular musical culture cannot be understood apart from economic change and the evolution of social relationships. An excellent initiation to the history of popular music, it is especially recommended to the general reader and for use as an introductory text in the study of cultural and social change. A " people's history, " Soul Trains combines major contributions to scholarship in a singleparnorama of musical evolution related to the struggles of ordinary people.

This book presents an analysis of representations of white, heterosexual, working-class masculinities in British culture between 1945 and 1989 to trace the development of the sociocultural and material conditions that shaped the masculinities which are helping to shape contemporary culture. This book seeks to fan the ‘spark of hope’ in the past that informs our present. The period which saw the establishment of the welfare state and the construction and breakdown of the post-war consensus in British politics was of great significance in the formation and maintenance of working-class masculinities and their correspondent representations. The author engages with a variety of cultural texts across various modes and media including films (Alfie), plays (Don’t Look Back in Anger), television (Boys from the Blackstuff), and music (The Beatles), and employs the analysis of the representation of working-class masculinities as a lens through which to examine a range of historical and cultural moments. This book reinstates class as a central precept in the study of British cultural representations and offers a timely intervention in ongoing debates around class and gender identities in Britain. The book will be key reading for students and researchers with interests in twentieth-century social and cultural British history, masculinities and gender studies, twentieth-century British literature, British television, and cultural studies more broadly.

Since the Second World War, we have witnessed exciting, often confusing developments in the British theatre. This book, first published in 1976, presents an enlightening, objective history of the many facets of post-war British theatre and a fresh interpretation of theatre itself. The remarkable and profound changes which have taken place during this period range from the style and content of plays, through methods of acting, to shapes of theatres and the organisational habits of managers. Two national theatres have been brought almost simultaneously into existence; while at the other end of the financial scale, the fringe and pub theatres have kicked their way into vigorous life. The theatre in Britain has been one of the post-war success stories, to judge by its international renown and its mixture of experimental vitality and polished experience. In this book Elsom presents an approach to the problems of criticism and appreciation which range beyond those of literary analysis.
