Whereas trauma and memory have come to dominate discussions of
World War Two, Lyndsey Stonebridge suggests that it was in fact the
representation of anxiety - a state in which we look forwards as
well as backwards - that emerged most forcefully in mid-century
wartime culture. For two crucial but understudied second
generations, the psychoanalysts who came after Freud and whose work
thrived in 1940s Britain, and the later modernists who had cut
their teeth on the expressive verve of their First World
War-shocked elders, thinking about anxiety, she argues, was a way
of imagining how it might be possible to stay within a history that
frequently undermined a sense of self and agency.
