Author: Christopher Hilliard
In twentieth-century Britain the literary landscape underwent a fundamental change. Aspiring authors–traditionally drawn from privileged social backgrounds–now included factory workers writing amid chaotic home lives and married women joining writers’ clubs in search of creative outlets. In this brilliantly conceived book, Christopher Hilliard reveals the extraordinary history of “ordinary” voices. In capturing the creative lives of ordinary people–would-be fiction-writers and poets who until now have left scarcely a mark on written history–Hilliard sensitively reconstructs the literary culture of a democratic age.
