Rewriting the Thirties questions the myth of the 'anti-modernist'
decade. Conversely, the editors argue it is a symptomatic,
transitional phase between modern and post-modern writing and
politics, at a time of cultural and technological change.The text
reconsiders some of the leading writers of the period in the light
of recent theoretical developments, through essays on the
ambivalent assimilation of Modernist influences, among proletarian
and canonical novelists including James Barke and George Orwell,
and among poets including Auden, MacNeice, Swingler and Bunting,
and in the work of feminist writers Vera Brittain and Winifred
Holtby. In this substantial remapping, the complexity and scope of
literary-critical debate at the time is discussed in relation to
theatrical innovation, audience attitudes to the mass medium of
modernity - cinema - the poetics of suburbia, consumerism and
national ideology, as well as the discursive strategies of British
and American documentarism.
