The World Broke in Two - Bill Goldstein - Bog

The world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts,' the American author Willa Cather once wrote. Yet for Woolf, Eliot, Forster and Lawrence, 1922 began with illness, personal problems and a frighteningly blank page. But 1922 turned out to be a year of outstanding creativity for them all. By the end of the year Woolf had started Mrs Dalloway, Forster had returned to A Passage to India, Lawrence had written Kangaroo, and Eliot had published 'The Waste Land'. Full of surprising insights, The World Broke in Two chronicles the journeys of these four writers in a crucial year of change.
