Summary

From Joynson-Hicks to John Reith; from Amy Johnson to T.E. Lawrence, Ronald Blythe looks behind the garish facade of Britain in the 1930s and reveals the birth of the modern Intelligentsia.

The Age of Illusion Summary

The Age of Illusion: England in the Twenties and Thirties 1919-1940 by Dr. Ronald Blythe

The author of Akenfield's brilliant reconstruction of life in England between the wars, a period abounding with astonishing figures from Joynson-Hicks cleaning up London's morals while defending the shooting of 379 Indians at Amritsar, to T.E. Lawrence, Mrs Meyrick being regularly raided at the '43', and the Rector of Stiffkey's remarkable capers.

About Dr. Ronald Blythe

Ronald Blythe has written poetry, short stories, history and literary criticism, much of it reflecting his East Anglian background. His first novel, A REASONABLE GROWTH, was published in 1960, and AKENFIELD, his remarkable evocation of rural change, appeared in 1969. It was followed by THE VIEW IN WINTER, THE AGE OF ILLUSION and the anthology WRITING IN A WAR, which contain further personal assessments of Britain's recent past. His other books are DIVINE LANDSCAPES, THE PENGUIN BOOK OF DIARIES, FIRST FRIENDS, WORD FROM WORMINGFORD, OUT OF THE VALLEY, and a volume of collected essays, FROM THE HEADLANDS. His work has been translated and filmed and has received a number of literary awards.
