Writing the 1926 General Strike

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses the literary response to the 1926 General Strike. The Strike not only drew writers into political action but inspired literature that shaped twentieth-century British views of class, culture, and politics. This study sheds new light on the relationship between politics and literature of the modernist era.
