  abstract: Focuses on the major sociopolitical changes that marked the sixties in relationship to the development of literature over the decade. This book is the first critical study to acknowledge that the 1960s can only be understood if, next to its sociopolitical history, its fictions and mythologies are acknowledged as a vital constituent in our understanding of the decade. Groes uncovers a major epistemological shift, and presents a powerful metanarrative about postwar literature in the UK, and beyond. This work offers a re-examination of canonical writers such as Iris Murdoch, Angela carter, Muriel Spark and John Fowles. It also pays critical attention to avantgarde writers including Ann Quin, Brigid Brophy, Eva Figes, Alan Burns, Christine Brooke-Rose, Eva Tucker and J.G. Ballard, presenting a comprehensive insight into the continuing power the decade exerts on the contemporary imagination
