Two Thousand Million Man-Power by Gertrude Trevelyan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.1 MB
Overview: Two Thousand Million Man-Power follows Robert, a chemist, and Katherine, a schoolteacher, through two tumultuous decades in English history. From New Year’s Eve 1919 to the funeral of King George V in 1936, they experience youthful radicalism, economic boom and bust, comfortable middle-class life in the suburbs and grinding poverty and the debilitating experience of looking for work where there is none to be found.
Gertrude Trevelyan sets their story against the backdrop of newspaper headlines, radio broadcasts and advertising slogans, contrasting the promises of progress and technology with the brutal effects of economic upswings and downturns. The result is one of the finest fictional portraits of English life in the 1920s and 1930s – the equivalent for England of John Dos Passos’s epic, U.S.A.
Utterly forgotten for over 80 years, Gertrude Trevelyan is finally being rediscovered. The stylistic and imaginative daring of her fiction arguably makes her one of the finest English novelists of the generation that followed Virginia Woolf.
