  • Wavering Fashion Trends

Answer

Osborne was the first among writers to address Britain's role in the post-imperial age. This was a significant aspect because Britain was once the world's most powerful empire, but it had lost most of its colonies by the 1960s. Osborne's plays and novels explored the social and political consequences of this decline, and he was particularly interested in the impact it had on the British working class.
