Drawing on the rich store of wartime writing and on the memories of survivors, this is a brilliant recreation of Britain's cultural life between 1939 and 1945. In this comprehensive study of the artistic scene of the period, the author describes the difficulties of being a writer under both civilian and military conditions, and presents a vivid picture of the lives and works of writers, poets and painters in Britain during the Second World War
