Description
The Experimentalists: A Collective Biography of British Experimental Writers in the 1960s This comprehensive history brings together the lives and works of the British experimental writers of the swinging 1960s. Through extensive research, including previously unseen archives and interviews with colleagues, Joseph Darlington sheds light on a pivotal decade in literary history. The book explores the connections between key historical moments, from Bletchley Park to Paris May '68, and delves into the personal stories of writers such as Christine Brooke-Rose, Anthony Burgess, and Ann Quin. A tale of love, loss, friendship, and shared vision, The Experimentalists offers a fascinating insight into a bold and provocative group of writers whose collective story has gone untold. Darlington's meticulous research reveals the unique contributions of each writer to literature during this period, offering a nuanced understanding of their impact on the literary landscape.
