- This 97,000 word monograph is the result of a six-year study that draws on collections from five UK and two Canadian archives, as well as ten non-digitized newspaper and periodical sources, representing a quantitative and qualitative study of reading and viewing practices in interwar Britain. It involved the compilation of a master list of bestselling novels and hit films across a 20-year time period and the examination of 35 out-of-print novels and 38 films, including 12 rare films viewed in 35 or 16mm formats within 3 media archives, and then cross-listed with articles corresponding to their publication and release dates.

- Additional information
- Chapters 2-3 of this book substantially develop and totally rewrite sections of two articles submitted to REF 2014, by examining a broadened source base of interwar film and fiction. Whilst the article, ‘Avarice and Evil doers,’ concentrated on the publications of six bestselling authors published in the 1920s only, and ‘Paying for Love’ examined the content of nine films released in interwar Britain, Chapters 2-3 of the book expanded this analysis to 35 out-of-print novels, and 38 films released in the 1930s as well as the 1920s, and located in five UK and two Canadian archives.
