Summary This volume complements the work of earlier literary historians and of the featured writers themselves by enlarging the reader's knowledge about the cultural ferment going on in Britain at the beginning of the third millennium. The writers included all seek to transform British society by casting a light on cultural realities that can no longer be overlooked.
