Abstract The post-war period has witnessed many political and social changes in Britain, as elsewhere in other countries.lt was in the field of the novel that the young writers were offered the opportunity to depict the social conditions, illnesses, and the vices of power. The themes of man’s alienation, his incessant search for identity in the face of a troubled and changing commuity, the need to abide by steady values and principles, and questions of good and evil, all form the bulk of the period’s fiction. The heroes no longer stand for the good, old values and high ethics, instead the anti heroic protagonists ironicaJJy exemplify a code of conduct by reacting violently against what has been thought heroic by past generations.
