Myth, memory and the middlebrow : Priestley, du Maurier and the symbolic form of Englishness

Bok av Ina. Habermann
This study explores Englishness as a 'symbolic form' from the 1920s to the 1940s. Two case studies, focused on J.B. Priestley and Daphne du Maurier, explore crucial ways in which popular 'middlebrow' authors imagine and shape the nation, providing an innovative approach to literary negotiations of cultural identity.
