This book considers the literary construction of what E. M. Forster calls 'the 1939 State', namely the anticipation of the Second World War between the Munich crisis of 1938 and the end of the Phoney War in the spring of 1940. Steve Ellis investigates not only myriad responses to the imminent war but also various peace aims and plans for post-war reconstruction outlined by such writers as T. S. Eliot, H. G. Wells, J. B. Priestley, George Orwell, E. M. Forster and Leonard and Virginia Woolf. He argues that the work of these writers is illuminated by the anxious tenor of this period. The result is a novel study of the 'long 1939', which transforms readers' understanding of the literary history of the eve-of-war era.

Autorenporträt
Former journalist, Steve Ellis, worked on the Newcastle Journal, Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday and The Sun. He was one of the launch editors of Bella and Take a Break for H Bauer magazines. Red on Green is Steve's third novel. For it he draws on his experience of working across the Indian subcontinent and several months living amongst 'internally displaced persons' in a squalid, disease-ridden camp in Bangladesh. Born in Halifax, Yorkshire, Steve now lives in Kent with his wife. He has two grown-up daughters and two granddaughters. He plays the piano, reads avidly, enjoys fly fishing for trout and loves tea.
