Through readings of novels by British Communists including Jack Lindsay, John Sommerfield, Lewis Jones and James Barke, Taylor shows that the realist novel of the left was a key site in which the politics of anti-fascist alliance were rehearsed. Maintaining a dialogue with theories of populism and with Georg Lukács?s vision of a revived literary realism ensuing from the Popular Front, this book at once illuminates the cultural formation of the Popular Front in Britain and proposes a new framework for reading British fiction of this period. 410 0$aHistorical materialism book series ;$vVolume 153. 606 $aBritish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBritish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a828.10808 700 $aTaylor$b Elinor$0961342 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467649203321 996 $aThe popular front novel in Britain, 1934-1940$92179561 997 $aUNINA
