The 1980s were a decade of financial boom, the yuppie, Thatcher, and Reagan, but it was also a decade of high unemployment and industrial decline. The Radiant Way by Margaret Drabble (1987) and Nice Work by David Lodge (1988) offer a social commentary and critique of key aspects of life in 1980s Britain. An American perspective is provided in Jay McInerny’s Brightness Falls (1992) which is set in New York during the lead up to and aftermath of Black Monday in 1987. It will be helpful if you have a copy of each book in class as we read passages from, and comment on them.
The Tutor is Denise Hanrahan-Wells, PhD. Denise has taught American Literature at Winchester University, and various literature courses through the WEA.
