About the book

Ronald Blythe's The Age of Illusion explores life in Britain between the First and Second World Wars, from 1919 to 1940. Public figures, revealing incidents and changing habits illuminate a society attempting to recover its confidence while facing economic hardship and political uncertainty. Blythe brings social history to life through people whose personalities expose the contradictions of their age. The result is a portrait of the twenties and thirties in which entertainment, public morality and national assumptions are set against the growing realisation that another European catastrophe may be approaching.
