Reviews for Contemporary British Fiction and the Cultural Politics of Disenfranchisement: Freedom and the City
“Beaumont ultimately provides a timely, accessible and highly engaging analysis of the battle between left culturalism and Thatcherism, and its subsequent influence on contemporary British literature. … The wide-ranging and interdisciplinary nature of the study ensures the work will be essential reading to cultural theorists and literary researchers alike.” (Kristian Shaw, English Studies, Vol. 97 (7), 2016)
