EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two prominent literary figures of the 1930s, Walter Greenwood and Ethel Mannin, engage in a deep conversation during an evening event. Walter Greenwood, born in Salford, England, in 1903, is best known for his socially influential novel "Love on the Dole" (1933), which provided a poignant portrayal of working-class life in the interwar period. Greenwood's writing was deeply rooted in the social and political issues of the time, reflecting the struggles and hardships faced by the working class. Ethel Mannin, born in 1900, is a British novelist and travel writer, political activist, and socialist. Mannin's literary career spanned several decades, and her works often addressed social and political issues, reflecting her commitment to social justice. In this image, the two writers, both dressed in formal attire, appear engrossed in their discussion, their body language suggesting a deep connection and shared passion for their work and their beliefs. The photograph, taken in 1935, captures a moment of intellectual exchange and camaraderie between two writers who were instrumental in shaping the literary and political landscape of their time. Their conversation likely touched upon the social and political issues that were at the forefront of their writing, as well as their experiences as writers and activists in the 1930s. The photograph serves as a reminder of the power of literature to reflect and challenge the social and political issues of the time, and the importance of intellectual exchange and dialogue in driving social change.
