J.B. Priestley famously described the three Englands he saw in the 1930s; Old England nineteenth-century England and the new post-war England. Thirties Britain was indeed a world of contrasts ultimately torn between the image of a nation rendered hopeless by the Depression unemployment and international tensions and that of a Britain of complacent suburban home-owners with a baby Austin in every garage. Now Juliet Gardiner acclaimed author of the award-winning Wartime provides a fresh perspective on that restless uncertain ambitious decade bringing the complex experience of thirties Britain alive through newspapers magazines memoirs letters diaries and interviews. Gardiner captures the essence of a people part-mesmerised by modernism in architecture art in the proliferation of dream palaces the insistence on fitness and fresh air the obsession with speed the growth and regimentation of leisure the democratisation of the countryside the celebration of elegance glamour and sensation. Yet at the same time this was a nation imbued with a pervasive awareness of loss - of Britains influence in the world of accepted political social and cultural signposts and finally of peace itself. eBook<
