The Long Week-End

The Long Week-End

1940 • 476 pages

**From Goodreads:**

The long week-end is Robert Graves' and Alan Hodge's evocative phrase for the period in Great Britain s social history between the twin devastations of the Great War and World War II. With brilliant wit and trenchant judgments they offer a scintillating survey of seemingly everything that went on of any consequence (or inconsequence) in those years in politics, business, science, religion, art, literature, fashion, education, popular amusements, domestic life, sexual relations and much else."
