Product Description
Review
A wide-ranging and authoritative portrait of the 20th century. Hamilton has assembled 49 essays - 'the freest form of literature' - which, decade by decade, document literary thought, political ideas and movements, encompassing the momentous and the trivial. From G K Chesterton's 'Woman' to Julian Barnes' 'Mrs Thatcher Remembers', taking in the likes of Edmund Blunden, W H Auden, Hannah Arendt and Norman Mailer, these works have no defining principle other than the quality of the writing. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
Woolf, Eliot, Lawrence, Huxley, Orwell, Green, Mailer and Updike are some of the luminaries providing commentary on the most turbulent events and political movements of the 20th century in this selection of essays. Topics also include the nature of memory, laughter, Siamese cats and bathrooms. Each essay has been selected (with two exceptions, which the editor does not reveal) for the quality of the writing.
