Pat Barker (Paperback, 1st Ed. 2009)

Pat Barker has established herself as one of the leading British political and historical novelists of the generation growing up in the wake of the Second World War. This book provides students with an introduction to her work, placing the fiction in clear historical, critical and theoretical contexts. Including a timeline of key dates and an interview with the author, Rawlinson both establishes the cultural importance of Barker's work and provides an overview of its academic and critical reception.
