dc.description.abstractRichard Yates, born in 1926 and a World War II veteran, is known and critically acclaimed for his literary work on American society of the post-war era and gives an insight into how his male characters experienced difficulties trying to live up to the demands the so-called Age of Conformity (1950s in America) made on them. This will be investigated with regard to the women in the men's lives and Yates' own biography. The three areas of men's professional, private and social life will be looked into. The three works of particular interest are: Revolutionary Road, The Easter Parade and his short story collection Eleven Kinds of Loneliness.en_US
