Book Synopsis British Writers and the Approach of World War II by : Steve Ellis
Download or read book British Writers and the Approach of World War II written by Steve Ellis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the literary construction of what E. M. Forster calls 'the 1939 State', namely the anticipation of the Second World War between the Munich crisis of 1938 and the end of the Phoney War in the spring of 1940. Steve Ellis investigates not only myriad responses to the imminent war but also various peace aims and plans for post-war reconstruction outlined by such writers as T. S. Eliot, H. G. Wells, J. B. Priestley, George Orwell, E. M. Forster and Leonard and Virginia Woolf. He argues that the work of these writers is illuminated by the anxious tenor of this period. The result is a novel study of the 'long 1939', which transforms readers' understanding of the literary history of the eve-of-war era.

Book Synopsis A Purgatorial Flame by : Sebastian David Guy Knowles
Download or read book A Purgatorial Flame written by Sebastian David Guy Knowles and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this study of a significant period of modern British literature, Sebastian D. G. Knowles argues that Modernism did not expire in 1939, to return as Contemporary Literature in 1945. Rather than marking a hiatus in British literature, the Second World War continued the march of literary ideas, and provoked an astonishgly cohesive response to a common catastrophe. A Purgatorial Flame centers upon the artimes work of seven British modernists: Woolf, MacNeice, Eliot, Tolkien, Lewis, Williams, and Waugh. ALthough none of these is generally considered a wartime writer, all wrote their finest, or most mature work under the shadow of the Second World War. Whether waiting for war to be declared, waiting for it to start in earnest, or waiting for bombs to fall, all expressed that waiting through the image of purgatory. A Purgatorial Flame draws these writers together, in an attempt to extend the accepted range of Modernism. The Second World War is in danger of becoming a memory of a memory; its literature ensures that it will never be so. This book provides a critically-needed reassessment of that literature, serving as both a reminder and a celebration. A Purgatorial Flame will be of interest to scholars and students of modern British literature" --

Book Synopsis English Literature Between the Wars by : B Ifor Evans
Download or read book English Literature Between the Wars written by B Ifor Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1948, English Literature Between the Wars sets out to answer a question: to what extent did the years between the two wars constitute a period in literature? Its exploration leads the author to assess the changes in the reading public, and in the movement of taste. He is led to the conclusion that in the inter-war period some writers were aware that a crisis in civilization was taking place and that these were the more genuinely creative writers. Apart from a consideration of these general problems, the volume contains studies of E.M. Forster, James Joyce, Aldous Huxley, D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and others. It also assesses the influence of war on the literature of the period, comments on the work of the younger writers, and adds a note on the theatre. Students of literature and history will find this book particularly interesting.

Book Synopsis The Great War in England in 1897 by : William Le Queux
Download or read book The Great War in England in 1897 written by William Le Queux and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) is a novel by Anglo-French writer William Le Queux. Published at the height of Le Queux’s career as a leading author of popular thrillers, The Great War in England in 1897 is a story of broken alliances, resistance, and international conflict. Using his own research and experience as a journalist and adventurer, Le Queux crafts an accessible, entertaining world for readers in search of a literary escape. Known for his works of fiction and nonfiction on the possibility of Germany invading Britain—a paranoia common in the early twentieth century—William Le Queux also wrote dozens of thrillers and adventure novels for a dedicated public audience. Although critical acclaim eluded him, popular success made him one of England’s bestselling writers. In The Great War in England in 1897, a large Russian-French occupying force lands undetected on the coast of England. Having formed an alliance in secret, they make swift gains across England until reaching London, which they take control of with little difficulty. Shocked, defeated, and hemorrhaging hope by the day, the people of England look for their leaders to do anything to reverse their fate. Working in the shadows, a small resistance movement begins taking shape, eventually forming an alliance with Germany in order to not only free England of its occupation, but force France and Russia to retreat from their colonial gains around the world. Despite being rejected as alarmist in its time, The Great War in England in 1897 would prove prescient less than a decade after its publication with the outbreak of the First World War. Although Le Queux would revisit the theme of invasion throughout his career, his 1906 novel The Invasion of 1910 would virtually reverse the circumstances of The Great War in England in 1897, having Germany take over the country instead. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Le Queux’s The Great War in England in 1897 is a classic novel reimagined for modern readers.

Book Synopsis Post-War British Women Novelists and the Canon by : Nick Turner
Download or read book Post-War British Women Novelists and the Canon written by Nick Turner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing number of books on contemporary fiction, there is a need for a work that examines whom we value, and why. These questions lie at the heart of this book which, by focusing on four novelists, literary and popular, interrogates the canon over the last fifty years. The argument unfolds to demonstrate that academic trends increasingly control canonicity, as do the demands of genre, the increasing commercialisation of literature, and the power of the literary prize. Turner argues that literary excellence, demonstrated by style and imaginative power, is often missing in many works that have become modern classics and makes a case for the value of the 'universal' in literature. Written in a jargon-free style, with reference to many supporting writers, the book raises a number of significant cultural questions about the arts, fashions and literary reputations, of interest to readers in contemporary literary studies.
Book Synopsis Reading behind the lines by : Natasha Alden
Download or read book Reading behind the lines written by Natasha Alden and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the concept of postmemory, developed in Holocaust studies, and applies it for the first time to novels by contemporary British writers. Focusing on war fiction, Alden builds upon current scholarship on historical fiction and memory studies, and extends the field by exploring how the use of historical research within fiction illuminates the ways in which we remember and recreate the past. Using postmemory to unlock both the transgenerational aspects of the novels discussed and the development of historiographic metafiction, Alden provides a ground-breaking analysis of the nature and potential of contemporary historical fiction. By examining the patterns and motivations behind authors’ translations of material from the historical record into fiction, Alden also asks to what extent such writing is, necessarily, metafictional. Ultimately, this study offers an updated answer to the question that historical fiction has always posed: what can fiction do with history that history cannot?
