The document discusses the "Angry Young Men", a group of British authors and playwrights active in the 1940s-1950s who were unsatisfied with the new social programs established after World War II. While the new welfare state aimed to reduce class division through reforms like education opportunities and national healthcare, the Angry Young Men felt the reforms did not go far enough and class divisions remained. The document highlights several key Angry Young Men writers like John Osborne and his play Look Back in Anger (1957), which is said to exemplify their themes of challenging class barriers and personal rebellion through emotionally charged works.
