This book examines in detail the contribution of women writers through their memoirs, fiction and poetry to the literature of the 1930s. The author challenges the traditional literary analyses of this dynamic and politically charged decade.
Men and Women Writers of the 1930s is a searching critique of the issues of memory and gender during this dynamic decade. Montefiore asks two principle questions; what part does memory play in the political literature of and about 1930s Britain? And what were the roles of women, both as writers and as signifying objects in constructing that literature?
Montefiore''s topical analysis of 1930s mass unemployment, fascist uprise and ''appeasement'' is shockingly relevant in society today. Issues of class, anti-fascist historical novels, post war memoirs of ''Auden generation'' writers and neglected women poets are discussed at length. Writers include:
* George Orwell
* Virginia Woolf
* W.H. Auden
* Storm Jameson
* Jean Rhys
* Rebecca West
