- This monograph of more than 220 pages is an interdisciplinary examination of the relationships between the British novel and communist politics in the later interwar years. It engages in detail with the cultural politics of the Comintern and Communist Party of Great Britain, extensively researched using communist periodicals, pamphlets, correspondence and ephemera held at the Working Class Movement Library (Salford) and Labour History Archive (Manchester), as well as collections of writers’ papers in Glasgow and Nottingham. It develops a complex argument about the influence of communist thought on the novel through readings of more than a dozen primary texts.
