Masculine Identity in Modernist Literature
“This is the book that researchers and teachers of contemporary British TV Drama have been waiting for. With insight and sensitivity, this collection abandons the overworked realism/heritage debates to explore class in relation to a fascinating range of 21C British TV texts.

Right now.” —Dr Alison Peirse, Lecturer in Writing for Screen and Stage, University of York, UK
