      abstract = {In twentieth-century Britain the literary landscape  underwent a fundamental change. Aspiring  authors--traditionally drawn from privileged social  backgrounds--now included factory workers writing amid  chaotic home lives and married women joining writers' clubs  in search of creative outlets. In this brilliantly  conceived book, Christopher Hilliard reveals the  extraordinary history of "ordinary" voices. In capturing  the creative lives of ordinary people--would-be  fiction-writers and poets who until now have left scarcely  a mark on written history--Hilliard sensitively  reconstructs the literary culture of a democratic age.},
