Edwardian Culture: Beyond the Garden Party is the first truly
interdisciplinary collection of essays dealing with culture in
Britain c.1895-1914. Bringing together essays on literature, art,
politics, religion, architecture, marketing, and imperial history,
the study highlights the extent to which the culture and politics
of Edwardian period were closely intertwined. The book builds upon
recent scholarship that seeks to reclaim the term 'Edwardian' from
prevalent, restrictive usages by venturing beyond the garden party
- and the political rally - to uncover some of the terrain that
lies between. The essays in the volume - which deal with both
famous writers such as J. M. Barrie and Arnold Bennett, as well as
many lesser-known figures - draw attention to the nuanced
multiplicity of experience and cultural forms that existed during
the period, and highlight the ways in which a closer examination of
Edwardian culture complicates our definitions of 'Victorian' and
'Modern'. The book argues that the Edwardian era, rather than
constituting a coda to the Victorian period or a languid pause
before modernism shook things up, possessed a compelling and
creative tenor of its own.
