Literature from the 'political' 1930s has often been read in
contrast to the 'aesthetic' 1920s. This collection suggests a
different approach. Drawing on recent work expanding our sense of
the political and aesthetic energies of interwar modernisms, these
chapters track transitions in British literature. The strains of
national break-up, class dissension and political instability
provoked a new literary order, and reading across the two decades
between the wars exposes the continuing pressure of these
transitions. Instead of following familiar markers - 1922, the
Crash, the Spanish Civil War - or isolating particular themes from
literary study, this collection takes key problems and dilemmas
from literature 'in transition' and reads them across familiar and
unfamiliar cultural works and productions, in their rich and
contradictory context of publication. Themes such as gender,
sexuality, nation and class are thus present throughout these
essays. Major writers such as Woolf are read alongside forgotten
and marginalised voices.
