Description: A lyrical tour of life as a young working - class man born into the first days of the 20th century Caliban Shrieks is a lost masterpiece of 1930s British literature. WITH NEW Introductions BY Andrew Mc Millan AND JACK Chadwick Caliban Shrieks narrator went from a childhood of poverty yet joy and freedom to the punishing grind of factory life and the idiocy of being sent blindly into war. He was turned out of the army a vagrant - seeing England from city to city county to county - before being thrust back into an uncertain cycle of working life as it unfolded in the post - war years. A story of men and women lost wandering and angrily dreaming of a better fairer England Hilton's autobiographical novel is a bold modernist retelling of the myth of how we find ourselves disenfranchised from the world and sold into a slavery of our making. Lost to time only to be rediscovered again in the Salford's Working Class Movement Library in 2022, Caliban Shrieks is a working - class masterpiece of British literature and continues to speak as brash and impassioned as it did on its first rave publication in 1935. Witty and unusual George Orwell Magnificent W H Auden
