"This survey of a vast field is elegantly managed, with agreeable readings along the way." (The Guardian)
"Bradford is formidable, bracing and wildly stimulating" (The Telegraph)
Praise for Richard Bradford's previous works:
For Lucky Him: The Life of Kingsley Amis
"sharp and convincing... written with magisterial skill" (The Daily Telegraph)
"perceptive... intelligent... written with an unstrident ease and sympathy that would surely have pleased his subject" (The Spectator)
For First Boredom, Then Fear: The Life of Philip Larkin
"quite the best book [on him] yet to appear... a masterful analysis... Bradford is in such complete command of his subject matter, nothing escapes him. It is as if he has had access to Larkin's very thought processes. A great biography of a great artistic genius. Utterly magnificent" (The Daily Express)
"extraordinary... quite the best thing to appear on Larkin in ages" (The London Evening Standard)
Richard Bradford examines both emerging and celebrated authors, considering the work of rising literary stars and weighing their merits against more established figures. Through rigorous evaluation and reflection, the author takes a look at where literature has been, and where it is going. Incorporating coverage of subgenres such as 'chick lit', 'lad lit', crime fiction and the historical novel, this volume also examines the ways in which gender, sexuality and sexual orientation have been addressed in fiction over the past three decades.
