One of the key moments in twentieth century cultural history was the emergence in the 1950s of a new class of writers who formed the British New Wave in literature and cinema. Writers as diverse as John Osborne, Alan Sillitoe, Shelagh Delaney and David Storey produced a string of modern classics, grappling with class prejudice, homophobia, racism and adultery. In this course, we will plot the cultural journey of pioneering works such as Room at the Top, A Taste of Honey and This Sporting Life, from paperback novels to screen classics.
