Product Description
Review
This collection offers more than a series of case studies illustrating what Bluemel (Monmouth Univ.) calls 'intermodernism'. It creates a new paradigm for the study of 20th-century literature and culture. Building on her own George Orwell and the Radical Eccentrics (CH, Sep'05, 43-0148), the editor brings together major scholars of 1930s-40s Britain under the rubric of intermodernism, defined in her compelling introductory essay as an aesthetic, institutional, and ideological category meant to delineate the space between modernism and postmodernism and to serve as a critical tool ... The extensive bibliography and appendix ('Who Are the Intermodernists?') will facilitate further research, especially by including the locations of archival material... Highly recommended. --Choice
Intermodernism is an attractive book in its own right, full of thoughtful and often surprising readings of particular texts, writers, and movements. It is also a welcome and substantial contribution to the ongoing rediscovery of mid-twentieth century British writing: that 'fascinating, compelling and grossly neglected' body of work, as Kristin Bluemel sums it up in her opening paragraph. --Journal of British Studies

Product Description
This collection of original critical essays launches an ambitious, long-term project marking out a new period and style in twentieth-century literary history. It covers the fiction, memoirs, criticism and journalism of writers such as Elizabeth Bowen, Storm Jameson, William Empson, George Orwell, J. B. Priestley, Harold Heslop, T. H. White, John Grierson, Margery Allingham and Stella Gibbons, focusing on the qualities that distinguish these writers literary efforts from those of the modernists or postmodernists. The expert contributors focus on three kinds of intermodern features in texts that are typically ignored in accounts of modernism or the Auden Generation: cultural features (intermodernists typically represent working-class and working middle-class cultures), political features (intermodernists are typically radical) and literary features (intermodernists are committed to non-canonical genres). The volume concludes with an appendix, 'Who Were the Intermodernists?', and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources.
