Romantic Moderns concerns itself with English writers, artists & the imagination from Virginia Woolf to John Piper. Alexandra Harris tells the history of the 1930s & 1940s in which writers & artists explored what it meant to be alive, at that moment in time, in Engl&. Harris portrays English modernists who show, in their various ways, that ‘the modern’ need not be at war with the past & different eras & theories could work together in particular celebration of locality & the English climate. Virginia Woolf wrote about a village pageant on a showery summer day, Florence White collected regional recipes & Christopher Tunnard designed modern English gardens with a firmly 18-th century feel. Also feeding Romantic Moderns & the sense of finding & imagining possible homes, for themselves & their art, in England are E.M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, the Sitwells & Cecil Beaton. ...

While the battles for modern art & society were being fought in France & Spain, it has seemed a betrayal that John Betjeman & John Piper were in love with a provincial world of old churches & tea-shops. In this multi-awardwinning book now available in paperback Alexandra Harris tells a different story. In the 1930s & 1940s, artists & writers explored what it meant to be alive in Engl&. Eclectically, passionately, wittily, they showed that the modern need not be at war with the past. Constructivists & conservatives could work together, & even the Bauhaus emigre, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, was beguiled into taking photographs for Betjemans nostalgic Oxford University Chest. This modern English renaissance was shared by writers, painters, gardeners, architects, critics, tourists & composers. John Piper, Virginia Woolf, Florence White, Christopher Tunnard, Evelyn Waugh, E. M. Forster & the Sitwells are part of the story, along with Bill Brandt, Graham Sutherl&, Eric Ravilious & Cecil Beaton. ...
