- W4247324207 abstract "This book analyses all of Barry Hines’s written works, including fiction, screenplays for film and television and scripts for the theatre. We draw on Barry Hines’s archive, in which appear several novels and screenplays which were never published or produced. We argue throughout that Hines’s best-known works are deservedly his 1968 novel <italic>A Kestrel for a Knave</italic>, and the 1984 atomic-war drama <italic>Threads</italic>. Both works have become central elements of British cultural history, <italic>A Kestrel for a Knave</italic> for its portrait of a schoolboy who tries to transcend his limited circumstances, <italic>Threads</italic> for its powerful portrayal of ordinary lives and communities destroyed by a nuclear attack. Yet the poetic realism that characterizes these works is evident in the very wide range of other kinds of writing that Hines produced, over the forty years of his writing life. Hines’s other works draw on the themes that preoccupied him, including injustice and deprivation, in relation to fiction and scripts about coal-mining, landowners, football, education and gender, culminating in works that represented Britain as multicultural and post-industrial nation. We argue that Hines’s entire oeuvre is as deserving of attention as that given to his best-known works." @default.
