Descripción
Sumario:The new histories of love and romance within this edited collection illustrate changes (and indeed continuities) in understandings of affection, intimacy and sex from the First World War until the beginning of the Women's Liberation movement. Both established and emerging scholars contribute to understandings about the power, knowledge and pleasure of love and romance within twentieth century Britain. Together, the essays in Love and Romance in Britain, 1918-1970 problematize notions of a 'golden age' of romance in the 1950s, and received periodisations that plot a rapid 'rise' and 'fall' of modern love. They expand our notions of what was modern about romantic love, and reveal the complex sources, spaces and times in which love was made in twentieth-century Britain.
