British Writers, Retrospective Supplement IIIBritish Writers, Retrospective Supplement III

British Writers began with a series of essays originally published by the British Council, and regular supplements have followed.
The goal of the supplements has been consistent with the original idea of the series: to provide clear, informative essays aimed at the general reader. These essays often rise to a high level of craft and critical vision, but they are meant to introduce a writer of some importance in the history of British or Anglophone literature, and to provide a sense of the scope and nature of the career under review.
