In Diplomacy in Postwar British Literature and Culture, Krzakowski shows how matters of international relations—refugee crises, tribunals, espionage, and diplomatic practice—have influenced the thematic and formal concerns of twentieth-century cultural production.
In Diplomacy in Postwar British Literature and Culture, Krzakowski examines representations of international relations in fiction and non-fiction by Rebecca West, Lawrence Durrell, Olivia Manning, and John le Carré, and in the films of Alfred Hitchcock respond to the political instability of the postwar period. This study argues that the codes and protocols of diplomatic practice have shaped modern British fiction and film, and that diplomatic papers and protocols offer a new way to trace the continuities between geopolitics and cultural production in the aftermath of the Second World War.
