The angry young men are a group of writers that originated in Great Britain in 1950s. One of the main ideas connecting these authors as a group was protest against the values of conventional and consumption society in England in period in 20th century. The old-fashioned conservative identity of English nation was transforming which explained the shift of the politics of post-war years to the left in terms of economy and politics. Brannigan declared that Angry Young Men’s literature “registered the new disturbances of class, gender, culture, race and sexuality, which interrupted national identity” (16). Writers included in this generation were mostly coming from lower class in English society and their resentment was aimed mainly against the upper class, which they scorned.
