C.P. Snow: The Dynamics of Hope

by N. Tredell

Overview

Novelist and cultural commentator C.P. Snow was a large and controversial presence in his lifetime but his work has been largely neglected since his death in 1980. This is the first 21st-century book to offer a clear, informed and sympathetic survey of all his novels and major non-fiction books and to affirm their importance for the world today.

Editorial Reviews

'The strengths of this work are its completeness in dealing with Snow's work and the research done on the original reviews of the fiction. Accessible across academic disciplines, this could become the general introduction to Snow studies for the next academic generation.' - Terrance L. Lewis, Associate Professor, History/Social Sciences, Winston-Salem State University, USA
