«Caliban Shrieks» is Jack Hilton's autobiographical novel, published by Penguin Random House in hardcover (208 pages, in English).
In Caliban Shrieks, Jack Hilton traces the life of a young Englishman born at the start of the twentieth century: childhood poverty, physical labor, the militia and postwar vagrancy. Caliban Shrieks combines autobiographical narrative with a modernist reworking of the wild man myth to denounce the conditions of the working class.
The novel Caliban Shrieks was originally published in 1935 and rediscovered in the Working Class Movement Library in Salford in 2022. The 2024 edition is from Vintage Classics.
For those seeking twentieth-century classics, British literature and novels of social conscience.
