Abstract

This article examines a politicised version of modernism produced by a particular moment in the mid-1930s: the novels and other writings produced by Social Creditors John Hargraves and Irene Rathbone. It attempts to identify a 'Social Credit aesthetic' founded on notions of distributed viewpoints across class disvisions. The principal examples are Hargrave's magnum opus SimmerTime Ends (1935) and Ratherbone's They Call It Peace (1936).
