In The Popular Front Novel in Britain, 1934 1940, Elinor Taylor provides the first study of the relationship between the British novel and the anti-fascist Popular Front strategy endorsed by the Comintern in 1935. Through readings of novels by British Communists including, Taylor shows that the realist novel of the left was a key site in which the politics of anti-fascist alliance were rehearsed. 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.
