Long Weekend by Graves (53 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First published in 1940, this survey of the inter-war period not only includes surface aspects of the era - from plays and novels to dance fads and fashions - but also discusses the international influences at work in politics, science, business and religion. Short hair and shorter skirts arrived during the 1920s; "New Education" became a going concern; the British Labour Party became respectable at last; and, as the 1930s wore on, public acknowledgement of the possibility of another world war was feverishly avoided in an ever-increasing whirl of activities.

[the] straggling remains of the defeated British Expeditionary Force in France had limped back across the Channel, leaving their dead, their wounded and those taken prisoner, as well as most of their weapons and equipment, behind on the beaches of Dunkirk. . It was at this moment that the British writer and poet, Robert Graves, with the help of another poet and historian, Alan Hodge, set out to encapsulate for their fellow countrymen and women the years that had passed since Britain was last at war with Germany. The Long Weekend, with its suggestion of leisure, of breathing space, of years out, is bookended by war. It starts with the Armistice: it ends with Hitler's failure to accept the British ultimatum to withdraw German troops from Poland, and the Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's declaration at 11.15 on the morning of Sunday 3 September 1939 'that consequently this country is at war with Germany'.".…
