About Room at the Top

John Braine's Room at the Top (1957) follows Joe Lampton, a young man from working-class Dufton who takes a local government job in Warnley and determines to climb the social ladder through calculation, ambition, and an affair that costs him everything he actually valued. One of the defining texts of the Angry Young Men movement and the British postwar novel of social ambition.
