Interwar Culture showcases a vast collection of popular and lesser-known periodicals published during the interwar period (1919-1939), with articles covering arts and culture, fashion, home and family life, travel, world current affairs, class, social and welfare issues, and includes writing from some of the prominent literary figures of the era. The periodicals that make up Interwar Culture, predominantly from the UK and US, provide insight into these topics, and an examination of the burgeoning media industries that both shaped and reflected society. Some highlights include: Twenty years of Time and Tide, the only British weekly review of the interwar period produced and edited entirely by women; fashion illustrations from titles such as Femina, Newest Styles for Men, Weldon's Ladies' Journal and Art, Goût, Beauté; literary works from The Strand Magazine, the publication that popularized Sherlock Holmes; and more. The periodicals showcased in Module I reflect the social, artistic and culture dynamism that characterized the Roaring Twenties in fashion, music, literature, dance and entertainment, as well as post-war intellectual thought and modernism. Source archives are the British Library, Liverpool John Moores University, Future PLC, the Newberry Library, and New York Public Library.
