THE POLITICAL AMBIVALENCE OF POSTMODERNISM IN MALCOLM BRADBURY'S NOVELS

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses a sense of history and at the same time an ideological awareness in Malcolm Bradbury's novels. The fact is emphasized that novels such as Eating People Is Wrong, Stepping Westward, The History Man, To the Hermitage comprise obvious echoes of his involvement in the political actuality contemporary with him. The aim of the paper is to highlight M. Bradbury's interrogation of the values underlying political practices and also his ironic sense of critical distance, as postmodernism has often done.
