Book Synopsis
Presenting a survey of literature in England during the first half of the twentieth century, this work places modernist with non-modernist writings. It covers psychological novels, war poems, detective stories, satires, children's books, and other literary forms evolving in response to the new anxieties and exhilarations of twentieth-century life.

Trade Review
Review from previous edition Baldick argues persuasively that modernism, as exemplified by such authors as Eliot, Woolf, and Joyce, did not suddenly dominate British literature in the period 1910-40; realistic novels and traditional poetic and dramatic forms continued to flourish. The individual author bibliographies are a tremendous asset. Recommended for all academic libraries, especially at the undergraduate level. * Library Journal *
