Interwar Culture Module I: 1920s
This collection comprises a diverse range of periodicals published internationally during the interwar years, many of which have previously been undiscovered and under-researched.
The periodicals showcased in Module 1 (1919-1929) reflect the social, artistic and cultural dynamism that characterised the ‘Roaring Twenties’ in fashion, music, literature, dance and entertainment as well as post-war intellectual thought and modernism. As the world emerged from the Great War into a new era, periodicals navigated a myriad of issues such as the ongoing undercurrent of feminism, the muddy waters of post-war recovery and the eternal question of youth and morality.
Module 1 highlights include:
- Beautiful high fashion visuals from titles such as Femina and Art, Goût, Beauté.
- A hidden gem of the American prohibition movement, The National Advocate.
- High-profile literary works from The Strand, the publication that launched Sherlock Holmes.
- A selection of home interest magazines, including Homes & Gardens, the UK’s first ever home interest magazine launched in 1919.
- A decade of Time and Tide, the only British weekly review of the interwar period produced and edited entirely by women.
- The rich history of interwar performing arts from Theatre Magazine, complete with stunning theatre photography.
