Look Back In Anger

The Longman Study Editions constitute a new series of the classics with critical apparatus created by Indian academics for the specific needs of their students. Look Back in Anger created a new genre of drama - the kitchen-sink drama. Jimmy Porter, the 'angry young man', voiced the angst and disillusionment of an entire nation. The play deconstructed not just traditional notions of sexuality, but also the notion of domestic life, exposing its vitriolic undercurrent. The essays featured in this edition contextualize the play within various critical perspectives, equipping the reader with multiple points of view in the study and appreciation of the work.
