Description:... Paradoxically perhaps the 1940s was a decade of cultural efflorescence. Writing, painting, theatre, cinema and dancing all thrived in this period. This book recreates the world of the 1940s with its encounters and characters, its conflicts and its discoveries, its hopes and its disillusions.
