Criterion - Cultural Politics and Periodical Networks in Inter-War Britain

Zusatztext a masterful work of scholarship on Eliot and modernism. Klappentext In this detailed study of literary culture in the inter-war period, Jason Harding examines the standing of T. S. Eliot's journal the Criterion in relation to other literary periodicals and, beyond that, to the larger cultural networks of the time. Through his examination of insufficiently known archive material and interviews with living witnesses to the period, Harding significantly alters our understanding of the journal and of Eliot's role as editor. Zusammenfassung Exploring the milieu of inter-war literary journalism, and drawing on a wealth of unpublished material and interviews with living witnesses to the period, Harding convincingly defends the Criterion against charges of Fascism and anti-Semitism in this important reassessment of Eliot's role as editor.
