Corinne Sandwith pursues this history in the ephemeral spaces of oppositional newspapers, literary magazines, debating societies and theatre groups. What emerges from the diverse fragments is a rich tradition of public debate in South Africa on literature and culture. What also surfaces are a host of readers and critics - such as A.C. Jordan, Dora Taylor, Jack Cope and Ben Kies - whose lively cultural interventions form a significant part of South Africa' s literary-cultural and socio-political heritage. Offering a combination of historical narrative, critical analysis and biography, this elegantly written book recovers these neglected reading and debating communities in order to bring them into the present and to reclaim their constitutive role in both the literary archive and the public sphere." -- Back page. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: A faithless literature of frustration and protest -- Politics aside: The South African Opinion -- The moment of Trek -- Dora Taylor: Marxist literary critic -- Civility in question: cultural debates in the Non-European Unity Movement -- Yours for socialism: communist cultural criticism, radical theatre and Jack Cope -- 'From urban gentlemen with clean hands to a militant people's movement' : literary-cultural debates post-1948. 600 10 $a Taylor, Dora, $d 1899-1976. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009025442 610 20 $a Non-European Unity Movement (South Africa) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013067878 650 0 $a Journalism $x Political aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Intellectuals $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Books and reading $x Political aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Government, Resistance to $z South Africa. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008118339 650 0 $a Marxist criticism $z South Africa. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Apartheid $z South Africa. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85005907 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180109061855.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=758FB79EF50C11E7A6193F6E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
