This dense volume will be a constant reference whenever I need coverage of the recent British novel. It is a long book, of long sentences in very long paragraphs. It's rather baggy prose is addicted to long lists of nouns, long strings of adjectives and rather (careless?) repetition. Bradbury divides the period, perhaps a bit arbitrarily roughly into decades. Each decade starts with a helpful but verbose summary of the relevant historical and artistic facts followed by a consideration of novels written in the decade, with fairly extended surveys of major figures. As befits a reference work the critical judgments offered feel more the "accepted" view than Bradbury's personal observations. Novelists whose work extended over several decades re-appear in several chapters resulting in a great deal of repetition and making it hard to follow the sweep of individual careers. As the book gets closer to the end of the period there are more and more books which are simply mentioned or summarized in a few words. All in all, a useful and informative book which could have been edited to 2/3 of its length. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Bradbury argues that almost a century since the emergence of Modernism, it is now possible to see the entire period in perspective. It is clear that the first 50 years - from Henry James, Wilde and Stevenson, through James Joyce, Lawrence, Forster, to Huxley, Isherwood and Orwell - have been extensively discussed in print. The years since World War II, though, have not been examined in depth, yet have produced talents such as Graham Greene, Angus Wilson, Beckett, Doris Lessing, Margaret Drabble, Angela Carter, Ian McEwan, Kingsley and Martin Amis, Julian Barnes, Fay Weldon, Salman Rushdie and Timothy Mo.
