Its advent helps fill the then low tide of the literature with energy. It is known that in literature flourished in English literature for over 30 years, however, the writers of 1950s have taken place of modernism, which altered the traditions and practices of prewar British writing. It is the writers and their writings of 1950s who reflected the British society after the World War II, revealing the pursuit and way of life of the young after the World War II, presenting us with the vivid picture of the British society and the vicissitude of the times.  \nOn the basis of the review of current studies concerning Angry Young Men, the thesis provides an overall study of Angry Young Men on the base of analysis of the masterpiece of Angry Young Men writers, Kingsley Amis’ Lucky Jim, John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger and Philip Larkin’s poetry, including Angry Young Men’s background, from rebellion to resignation, a survey of the philosophical and aesthetic source and literary characteristics.  \nThe book is divided into six parts. The first part mainly discusses the background of Angry Young Men. The key issue of the social background is the influence of World War Ⅱ on the social and cultural climate of Britain. After World War II, the Britain was greatly destroyed by the war with stagnant economy, penurious material, hard lives, sharp class conflict, at the same time, the independence of colonial and semi-colonial countries became hot, the British Empire lost its position in the world, which made the feeling of anger crept in the British mind, especially in the mind of the young. All of this pave the way for the development of realism. In the literary background, the development of English literature in the 20th century is analyzed, based on the David Lodge’s Pendulum Theory of alternate appearance between modernism and anti-modernism, we know that the literature of 1950s is the product of the Pendulum Theory when the pendulum swayed back to the 1950s. Next section is the literary review. The literary review provides a picture of the current research on the Angry Yong Men, which helps establish the proper foundation and standpoint of my study.  \nThe second part is devoted to a survey of the philosophical and aesthetic source","cbCaitfVSbPADIPo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitfVSbPADIPo","pdf",2185407,137,"English","# Contents\n## Acknowledgments\n## Preface\n## Chapter One Introduction\n## Chapter Two A Survey of the Source of Angry Young Men\n## Chapter Three A Survey of Literary Characteristics of Angry Young Men Writings\n## Chapter Four From Rebellion to Resignation\n## Chapter Five Angry Young Men: From a Postmodern Perspective\n## Chapter Six Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What literary works are central to the thesis’s study of Angry Young Men?\",\"answer\":\"The thesis focuses on Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim, John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger, and Philip Larkin’s poetry.
