English professor Stuart Sillars explains how words and images worked together as a complex form of art, communication and entertainment between the two world wars.

The years between the wars were marked both by dramatic social change and nostalgia for a lost or vanishing vision of England. Sillars’ new book, Picturing England between the Wars, offers a fascinating account of the period, highlighting the interplay of word and image in representations of England’s evolving landscapes.

Sillars is professor of English literature at the University of Bergen. He is particularly interested in relations between the arts. Here he talks to Jem Poster, emeritus professor of creative writing, Aberystwyth University, and author of a collection of poetry, Brought to Light, and two novels, Courting Shadows and Rifling Paradise.
