Summary Essays on British novelists whose work reflected the great transitions of society and the nation. Novels of this period were influenced by two strong but not mutually exclusive impulses: to write out of the tradition that immediately preceded at the same time confronting the changing shape of the world; the attempt to break sharply form the traditions and values inherited and reflect in form, technique, and subject matter an altered vision of the world and the self.
