Books by Stuart Sillars

An examination of the ways in which the artists and writers of the 1940s developed and extended approaches from earlier English romanticism to provide a direct and compassionate response to the reality of contemporary destruction.

This text explores the important but neglected tradition of illustrated fiction in English, and suggests new analytical approaches for its study, by offering detailed discussions of a range of representative texts.

This book explores key texts - Howards End , The Rainbow , and the poetry of Owen, Sassoon and Edward Thomas - to show the mingled continuation and rejection of convention as their characteristic achievement, exploring features often seen as failures.
