History in Our Hands: A Critical Anthology of Writings on Literature, Culture, and Politics from the 1930sPatrick Deane This collection of social, political and cultural history writings from the 1930s, a decade still too often characterized as that of the 'Auden Generation', brings together important texts of the period and makes accessible some of the key writings of the decade which are either scattered and difficult to locate, or have long been out of print. The anthology offers students and the general reader the opportunity to explore the full range of ideas behind the fiction, poetry, art and music of the 1930s. |
