The Morbid Age by Richard Overy
British intellectual life between the wars stood at the heart of modernity; it was the golden age of the public intellectual and scientist: Arnold Toynbee, Aldous and Julian Huxley, H G Wells, Marie Stopes and a host of others. This title opens a window onto the creative but anxious period between the First and Second World Wars.
