Melvyn Bragg's Cumbrian Novels

John Shapcott

£15.00

This book is the first extended critical study of Melvyn Bragg’s importance as a regional novelist.

It discusses his novels as part of a literary tradition stretching from the Romantic poets to D.H. Lawrence and Arnold Bennett, and on to the post-war work of Alan Sillitoe and Raymond Williams. At the same time, John Shapcott demonstrates Bragg reaching out to embrace other cultural forms, including cinema, and the contemporary American novel.
