Description
Summary:Debate arising from Bewes's review of Passerini's book 'Europe in Love, Love in Europe: Imagination and Politics in Britain Between the Wars' ('Europa and Utopia: How Cultural History Deals with the Paradox of Modernity' NLR 236, Jul/Aug 1999 pp.103-16). Passerini defends her retrieval of inter-war ideas of the unity of European culture and politics, without reference to post-war sequels, as a safeguard of actual discontinuities. Bewes argues for the difficulties of this way of looking at a past that has not gone away. (Original abstract)
