angry young men
|
|
Phrase coined by the press in 1956 after the great success of John Osborne's play *Look Back in Anger; it was used to lump together several young writers who had little in common, except a shared impatience with the *Establishment. Apart from Osborne, the others most often described in this way were Kingsley *Amis, Colin Wilson (because of his book The Outsider), and Kenneth *Tynan.
