Research Abstract |
Based on postcolonial approach, this research explores the sense ofbelonging, or the idea of "home" embedded in plays by well-known British dramatists of the twentieth century. The changes from Empireto Commonwealth, and to a welfare stateafter the Second World War, are among the key factors establishing the sense of belonging to Britainand the sense of a British national identity. This study helps to explain how Britain survived decolonization and the fall of the British Empire.
