Overview

The first in-depth study of the landmark modern feminist magazine, Time and Tide This book reconstructs the first two decades of Time and Tide (1920-1939) and explores the periodical's significance for an interwar generation of British women writers and readers. Unique in establishing itself as the only female-run intellectual weekly in the golden age of the weekly review, Time and Tide both challenged persistent prejudices against women's participation in public life and played an instrumental role in redefining women's gender roles and identities. Drawing on extensive new archival research Catherine Clay recovers the contributions to this magazine of both well-and lesser-known British women writers, editors, critics, and journalists and explores a cultural dialogue about literature, politics and the arts that took place beyond the parameters of modernist 'little magazines'. The book makes a major contribution to the history of women's writing and feminism in Britain between the wars.

"Clay has done her bit and done it well.--Angela V. John, Women's History ""Clay's book is erudite, comprehensive and wonderfully clear, and should immediately become the standard of work for anyone working on Time and Tide.""--Gareth Mills, The Review of English Studies Clay successfully celebrates Time and Tide's contribution to British periodical history, but also to wider conversations about women, as the only female controlled -- editorial team and board alike -- periodical of the British inter-war period.--Rio Matchett, University of Liverpool ""Journal of European Periodical Studies, 4.2 (Winter 2019)"" Time and Tide is an endlessly fascinating magazine. Provocative and forward-thinking, it influenced debate on topics ranging from work and leisure to modernist art. Catherine Clay's insightful, deeply knowledgeable study brings out the full importance of Time and Tide to British literary, political and feminist culture in the twentieth century.-- ""Faye Hammill, University of Glasgow"""
