LITERATURE, CINEMA AND POLITICS 1930-1945 READING BETWEEN THE FRAMES by LARA FEIGEL Published in 2010 by Edinburgh University Press First Edition SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR Signed on both the title and half title pages A scholarly but highly readable exploration of how writers and filmmakers responded to the turbulent political climate of the 1930's and World War 2. Feigel examines how literature and cinema were not only used to reflect but also influence public opinion, shape political discourse, and document ideological change during this critical fifteen-year period. Drawing on an impressive range of sources, Feigel focuses on key figures such as W.H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Christopher Isherwood, George Orwell, and Virginia Woolf, and filmmakers such as Powell & Pressburger, Fritz Lang, Humphrey Jennings, Sergei Eisenstein, and Dziga Vertov. Lara Feigel is a British literary scholar, critic, and author, known for her work on 20th-century literature, modernism, and the cultural history of war. She is Professor of Modern Literature and Culture at King's College London. Her other works include The Love-Charm of Bombs: Restless Lives in the Second World War (2013), The Bitter Taste of Victory: Life, Love and Art in the Ruins of the Reich (2016), Free Woman: Life, Liberation and Doris Lessing (2018), and Look! We Have Come Through!: Living with D. H. Lawrence (2022). Literature, Cinema and Politics (2010) was Feigel's first published work.
