This book argues that British proletarian literature was a
politicised form of modernism which culturally transformed Britain.
Critical analysis and close readings of key works such as D.H.
Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, Naomi Mitchison's We have Been
Warned, Lewis Grassic Gibbon's A Scots Quair and John Sommerfield's
May Day, are placed within a literary history stretching from early
encounters between Ford Madox Ford and D.H. Lawrence, through
Virginia Woolf's association with the Women's Co-operative Guild,
and on to the activity of Mass Observation in the late 1930s and
1940s. The study analyses the way in which modernism and
proletarian literature were related to an intersectional web of
class and gender that took on a potent political shape following
the 1926 General Strike and the Equal Franchise Act of 1928. The
1930s is revealed not as an atypical, isolated decade but as
central to the literature of the twentieth century.
