A history of 1930s British literature
\"The 1930s are again en vogue. Over the past fifteen years political commentators have repeatedly invoked the decade as a resonant backdrop to current historical events ranging from the financial crash of 2008 and the surge of populist political movements to the apparent crisis of democratic institutions in Europe and elsewhere\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Keep the aspidistra flying
'Money is what God used to be. Good and evil have no meaning any longer except failure and success.' Gordon Comstock decides to live in poverty rather than compromise with the 'money god'. Disgusted by society's materialism, he leaves his job in advertising to pursue an ill-fated career as a poet. 'Keep the Aspidistra Flying' is widely viewed as a key transitional text in Orwell's career.
