The dissertation focuses on key texts by a group of writersÌ¢ âÂ' Virginia Woolf, Mass-Observation, George Orwell, W.H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood, Elizabeth BowenÌ¢ âÂ' who were integral to the changing priorities of modernist writing in the 1930s and 1940s.	cache/8336h130p4q.txt	txt/8336h130p4q.txt
