What are some outstanding models of British fiction written after World War II?

There are a few models famous for being written right
after the war or in conjunction with the end of the war. In fact, an entire genre
produced itself out of the results of war.

George Orwell
wrote 1984 in 1948 and published it in 1949. This dystopian novel
was a result of Orwell's perception of what could happen in the future if politics
continued as usual, and the people continued to look the other way as usual. World War
II demonstrated the power of propaganda as does the society which is portray in his
novel 1984.

William Golding's
Lord of the Flies likewise arose as a dystopian novel as a result
of WWII. His perception was more written from the perspective of the effect this had on
future generations.

One final piece to look at for more of
a political satire would be George Orwell's Animal Farm. This work
pokes fun at the Communist beginning and the impact of Stalin on a post-WWII society of
animals.
