Fantasy, the Bomb, and the Greening of Britain: Romantic Protest, 1945-1980

This work explores the ideas and assumptions of three very different cultural developments in post-war Britain: the response to the fantasy literature of Lewis and Tolkien, protests against nuclear weapons, and the early Green movement. It places these products of middle-class culture within the British intellectual and cultural tradition of romantic protest against industrialised society.Meredith Veldman is the author of 'Fantasy, the Bomb, and the Greening of Britain: Romantic Protest, 1945-1980', published 1994 under ISBN 9780521440608 and ISBN 0521440602.
