This book examines the persistence of the rural tradition in the
English novel into the twentieth century. In the shadow of
metropolitan literary culture, rural writing can seem to strive for
a fantasy version of England with no compelling social or
historical relevance. Dominic Head argues that the apparent
disconnection is, in itself, a response to modernity rather than a
refusal to engage with it, and that the important writers in this
tradition have had a significant bearing on the trajectory of
English cultural life through the twentieth century. At the heart
of the discussion is the English rural regional novel of the 1920s
and 1930s, which reveals significant points of overlap with
mainstream literary culture and the legacies of modernism. Rural
writers refashioned the conventions of the tradition and the
effects of literary nostalgia, to produce the swansong of a fading
genre with resonances that are still relevant today.
