Youth Culture and the Post-War British Novel is a lively contribution to a growing area of postwar and contemporary literary studies. Ross’s style is at once accessible and engaging, and his book offers new ways of thinking about the importance of youth culture to a range of novels from the latter half of the twentieth century.
