Social mobility, Angry Young Men, campus novel, satire.Аннотация
The 1950s in England are characterized by the class conflict and social mobility between different layers of society.The advent of universities and colleges comprised almost all people from various backgrounds, but everything worked for the benefit of the culturally elite. The aspirations and dreams of the youth from lower class were not achieved due the upper hand of the wealthy members of society. This disappointment led to the movement “Angry Young Men”, which resulted from the anger and disallusionment towards the prevailing conditions of that period.
