"The Unknown 1922" revisits a selection of non-canonical and rarely read literary texts first published in 1922, the celebrated "annus mirabilis" of English modernism. Crime and fantasy novels, ‘middlebrow’ fiction, short stories, essays, plays and memoirs – these alternative works cast an interesting sidelight on well-known modernist classics. From Rose Macaulay to Aleister Crowley, from E. R. Eddison to Cicely Hamilton, and from Elizabeth Von Arnim to William Gerhardi, they offer an unusual and fascinating cross-section of the literary landscape of that memorable year.weiterlesen
