Two Thousand Million Man-Power by Gertrude Trevelyan
A panoramic view of English life from 1919 to 1936, Two Thousand Million Man-Power is no wistful, nostalgic account of this time. Instead, Gertrude Trevelyan shows how even the brightest and most able personalities can be ground down by economic highs and lows and a system in which individuals quickly disappear into crowds and statistics.
Gertrude Eileen Trevelyan was born in Bath in 1903. She came to fame as the first woman to win the Newdigate Prize for best undergraduate poem at Oxford in 1927. Starting with Appius and Virginia in 1932, she published eight novels, her last being Trance by Appointment in 1939. She was injured when a German bomb struck her flat in October 1940 and she died at her parents' home in Bath in March 1941.
