Writers who changed lives. <i>Rebel Writers </i>is a startling new approach to literary criticism - not just what was done, but why it had to be done - mingled with astute social history. All sorts of things we should know but don’t know about the sixties, all smoothly and elegantly written and as readable as any novel. Six writers to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, all in their own ways sowing the seeds of how we live today. Marvellously interesting!

Brayfield's equally illuminating book homes in on the late 1950s and early 1960s, revealing that (Shelagh) Delaney wasn't the only one showing that female experience was about more than just falling in love... Brayfield offers us perceptive analysis of the writing and ratifies these women's position in the canon in the process. Perfect companion volumes, <i>Tastes of Honey</i> and <i>Rebel Writers</i> make for entertaining, edifying and important reading.
