The Long Week End: A Social History of Great Britain, 1918-1939 | Robert Graves, Alan Hodge

1 post | 3 to read

A classic social history by two distinguished writers who lived through the time. "The long week-end" is the authors' evocative phrase for the period in Great Britain's social history between the twin devastations of the Great War and World War II. From a postwar period of prosperity and frivolity through the ever-darkening decade of the thirties, The Long Week-End deftly and movingly preserves the details and captures the spirit of the time.

The Long Week End: A Social History of Great Britain, 1918-1939 | Robert Graves, Alan Hodge

So I'm on to this one. It's been on my stack for a while now, but I had to wait to get my new glasses before reading, because the font was such a strain.. It's a time period I enjoy reading about, and have for years (read that as before I even heard of Downton Abbey) as I am a history buff. It was originally written in 1940.
