Tomorrow perhaps the future : writers, rebels and the Spanish Civil War
Watling, Sarah2024
Book
In the 1930s, women and men from across Britain, Europe and America made their way to Spain to be part of what they identified as a historic fight for freedom from fascism. 'Tomorrow Perhaps the Future' follows a handful of extraordinary outsiders who were determined to live out their lives with courage and conviction. Sarah Watling weaves together the paths of the American journalists Martha Gellhorn and Josephine Herbst, the British writers and partners Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland, the aristocratic rebel Jessica Mitford, and the maverick poet Nancy Cunard, drawing in their responses to the Spanish Civil War in both literature and life.
