Edition of young men's magazines from just before the First World
War, presenting a vivid and touching picture of life at the time.
The Angels' Voice was the title given to a magazine which
circulated among a group of some 40 or so young men in Brixton
between 1910 and 1913, all members of the Young Men's Bible Class
of Trinity Congregational Church there. In its pages they teased
each other, their sisters and girlfriends in poetry, drawings and
witty, innocent articles. We see them playing football, going on
country rambles, roller-skating, cycling, smoking (a lot), arguing
about politics and women's rights, taking day trips to France and
holidays in the Channel Islands, Belgium and Italy, and even
working in Switzerland, India and the Canary Islands. This magazine
offers an unique insight into life in London in general, and the
lives and attitudes of lower middle-class young men in one suburb
in particular, on the eve of the outbreak of the First World War,
during which many of them were to serve and several of them were to
die; its pages depict the world lost in the trenches of France and
Flanders. The magazines are presented here with an introduction and
full notes, with an appendix providing biographical information on
many of those connected with them. ALAN ARGENT grew up in south
London. He is minister of Trinity Congregational Church, Brixton,
and Research Fellow at Dr Williams's Library, London. He has
written a biography of Elsie Chamberlain, and a history of
Congregationalism in the twentieth century.
