Devolution, Nationalism, and the Rhetoric of Independence
This chapter traces the progression of nationalist writing in Wales and Scotland from the Popular Front fiction of the 1930s through to the devolved nations of the twenty-first century. Raymond Williams’s changing position on the nationalist question is charted and related to the work of the political theorist Tom Nairn. Williams is further analysed in the second half of the chapter as an indicative case study of a creative writer who drew on the…

The Proletarian Answer to the Modernist Question
The Proletarian Answer to the Modernist Question argues that British proletarian literature was a politicised form of modernism which culturally transformed Britain. Critical analysis and extended close readings of key works such as D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover , Naomi Mitchison’s We have Been Warned , Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s A Scots Quair and John Sommerfield’s May Day , are placed within a wider literary history of cross-class intersu…

However, it is undoubtedly true that if Tom Harrisson, sitting in Bolton Library, had not read Charles Madge’s letter to the New State…
Special Section Introduction
Since Mass Observation's foundation in 1937, the organisation has played witness to the great and the small events of everyday life during the last eight decades, recording people's opinions, beliefs and experiences, and making them available for researchers to develop new interpretations of British social life. Although the data produced is often messy and unwieldy and apparently contradicts many sociological assumptions about methodological rig…
Historical Psychology, Utopian Dreams and Other Fool's Errands
The initial premise of Georg Lukács's The Historical Novel is well-known and can be found outlined in its opening sentence: “The historical novel arose at the beginning of the nineteenth century at about the time of Napoleon's collapse (Scott's Waverley appeared in 1814)” (15). According to Lukács, the classical historical novel inaugurated by Sir Walter Scott was distinguished from what had preceded it by the conscious employment of a historical…
