The Masculine Middlebrow, 1880-1950 [PDF ebook] 
What Mr. Miniver Read

Support

Who was the early twentieth-century masculine middlebrow reader? How did his reading choices respond to his environment? This book looks at British middlebrow writing and reading from the late Victorian period to the 1950s and examines the masculine reader and author, and how they challenged feminine middlebrow and literary modernism.
