Through readings of novels by British Communists including, Taylor shows that the realist novel of the left was a key site in which the politics of anti-fascist alliance were rehearsed. This book at once illuminates the cultural formation of the Popular Front in Britain and proposes a new framework for reading British fiction of this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e The Popular Front\u003cbr\u003e Culture, Crisis and Democracy\u003cbr\u003e The Popular Front Novel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    Realism and Modernism    \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Anti-Fascist Aesthetics in International Context\u003cbr\u003e Socialist Realism\u003cbr\u003e British Developments\u003cbr\u003e Language, Form and Popularity\u003cbr\u003e Ralph Fox’s Realism\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 John Sommerfield, \u003cem\u003eMay Day\u003c\/em\u003e (1936)\u003cbr\u003e John Sommerfield: Literature and Activism\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eVox Populi\u003c\/em\u003e and Bird’s Eye\u003cbr\u003e Montage and Memory\u003cbr\u003e Myth and Tradition\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Arthur Calder-Marshall, \u003cem\u003ePie in the Sky\u003c\/em\u003e (1937)\u003cbr\u003e Bathos and Narrative Convention\u003cbr\u003e Failures of Articulation\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    History and the Historical Novel    \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 History and the Historical Novel\u003cbr\u003e British Communists and English History\u003cbr\u003e The Historical Novel of the Popular Front\u003cbr\u003e Jack Lindsay’s English Trilogy\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    Class, Nation, People    \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 James Barke and the National Turn\u003cbr\u003e The National Turn (I): British Questions\u003cbr\u003e The National Turn (II): Critical Voices\u003cbr\u003e ‘There is no Scottish National Question’\u003cbr\u003e James Barke, \u003cem\u003eMajor Operation\u003c\/em\u003e (1936)\u003cbr\u003e James Barke, \u003cem\u003eThe Land of the Leal\u003c\/em\u003e (1939)\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6 Lewis Jones’s Fiction\u003cbr\u003e Shame, Vision and Reification\u003cbr\u003e Forms and Modes\u003cbr\u003e Spain and Home\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorks Cited\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359711297879,"sku":"9781608460465","price":25.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781608460465.jpg?v=1754125484","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-popular-front-novel-in-britain-1934-1940-9781608460465","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
