This kaleidoscopic, wide-ranging study of British writers and poets during the 1930s--including Auden, Isherwood, Spender, Waugh, and Greene-- examines their masterpieces, not in linguistic isolation, but rather in social, political, historical, and ideological context. Cunningham maps out the central obsessions and imposing images of the '30s imagination: the "destructive element" of post-World War consciousness, the infatuation with heroes, and the cult of youth.
