Sir Hugh Walpole and the United States : A Novelist's View of 1919-1936 America

By (author) Steele, Elizabeth

This study shows when, where and how novelist Hugh Walpole, author of forty-two books of fiction and two famous screenplays, came to typify the image of the genius "British lecturer" in the minds of many Americans. The number of British literary men and women lecturing in America between the two World Wars was, and continues to be, remarkable. Among them, Hugh Walpole was considered one of the best, touring America five times for two decades, and leaving his own personal stamp.
