- W2279463088 abstract "This thesis evaluates and re-evaluates the relationship between the works of PhilipLarkin, Kingsley Amis and Martin Amis through a detailed examination of theirpublished works, and attempts to locate this relationship in the context of the centralmoral uncertainties of post-1945 British fiction.Most previous critical studies of these authors have tended to discuss therelationship between Kingsley Amis and Martin Amis in terms of an oppositionbetween the father's realism and the son's postmodernism, and have debated PhilipLarkin's influence upon Martin Amis only tangentially. Against this trend, this thesisargues that these three authors share a commitment to literature as a public, moral act,and, in particular, that their works share the intention of articulating a number ofclosely related secular 'human values' which map out a potential post-Christianmorality in British society.The thesis also examines a common tension within their oeuvres inimical tosuch hopes - the fear that the possibilities of rational self-scrutiny and of becoming'less deceived' have been discredited by the history of the twentieth century, and thatthis history instead evidences the dominance of irrational and self-destructivetendencies in the human. These fears, it is further claimed, are implicated in the works of all three authors in a tendency towards the construction of Edenic myths,deterministic simplifications, and despairing devaluations of the value of human life.Overall, this thesis makes the case for the significance of the commonconcerns of Martin Amis, Kingsley Amis and Philip Larkin's works in the context ofcontemporary literary studies: their efforts to create in art an unpretentiously 'publicspace' for the address of burning moral and existential issues, and their unresolvedstruggles with the question of what it might mean to live a good life in a societywhich no longer possesses religion as a common moral language." @default.
