PriestleyS England by John Baxendale
Priestleys England explores the cultural, literary and political history of twentieth-century Britain through the radical critique offered by one of its most popular writers, J B Priestley. Its wide-ranging themes include Englishness, literary culture and its values, Americanisation and mass culture. -- .
'I have nothing but praise for this bookI agree with almost every word of it, but I like to think that even those who will disagree with it - who may feel it is too generous to Priestley (especially the later, more embittered Priestley), or to interwar mass culture, or to his relationship with his audiences - will appreciate its humanity, its craft, its insight, and its scrupulous- ness.' Peter Mandler, Professor of Cultural History at Cambridge University -- .
