Description

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 theFringe, That Was the Week that Was and Private Eye.

Their satire andirreverence aroused enthusiasm in man, and a new 'anti-Establishment' mooddeveloped from Look Back in Anger and The Outsider.

All literary movementsacquire enemies, but the Angry Young Men of the 1950s accumulated more thanmost.

Why? Wilson takes us on a journey back to this era, and revealsfascinating and sometimes disturbing stories from the Greats, including JohnOsborne, 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.
