| Synopsis: |
This illustrated survey examines the art, design, fashion and architecture of 1920s London alongside wider social and political ideas about Britain, modernism, mass democracy and popular culture. The book provides an accessible and original framework for understanding the cultural maelstrom of the decade. London was at the heart of all the 1920s debates about Britain's future. What was the London of the future to be in a world shaken by catastrophic wars, revolutions and scientific miracles? The text shows London emerging from the decade as a city for the modern world. British-style, newly-democratized, a unique mix of international modernism and distinctly postmodern diversity, irony and pragmatism. |
