'... a vast compendium edited by Benjamin Kohlmann and Matthew Taunton, full of penetrating insights into a decade one had previously thought over-explored.' D. J. Taylor, The Times Literary Supplement ' ...essay after essay shows careful study, archival attention, and a strong editorial hand ... the editors have done a fine job of presenting an interesting array of research which certainly does some fine direction pointing for future research.' Matthew Chambers, The Modernist Review 'The range, intelligence, originality and scholarship of its essays make this a valuable collection.' Alistair Davies, Textual Practice 'The volume supports and extends scholarship that recognizes the decade's connections to as well as departures from modernism, and that seeks to more closely understand the distinctive forms and practices, and broadening networks of writers and professionals in the cultural sphere, that emerged during the thirties ... This volume showcases the breadth, diversity and vitality of 1930s cultural texts and producers (stretching the purely literary to other media including music, film, and radio), and offers an invaluable resource for students and scholars.' Naomi Milthorpe, The Space Between: Literature and Culture 1914-1945 'Kohlmann and Taunton have assembled a thrilling collection of essays that provide diverse and distinct entry points into the long, wide, and urgent 1930s.' Michael McCluskey, Modernism/Modernity
