The drama of these two short works--a novella and a memoir--comes from the courage and endurance of ordinary people met in the factories, streets and lodging houses of a city under bombardment.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNight Shift\u003c\/i\u003e follows a largely working-class cast of characters for five night shifts in a factory that produces camera parts for war planes. \u003ci\u003eIt Was Different At The Time\u003c\/i\u003e is Holden's account of wartime life from April 1938 to August 1941, drawn from her own diary. The latter was intended to be a joint project written with her friend George Orwell and includes disguised appearances of Orwell, Stevie Smith and other notable literary figures of the period. The experiences recorded in \u003ci\u003eIt Was Different At The Time\u003c\/i\u003e overlap in period and subject with \u003ci\u003eNight Shift\u003c\/i\u003e, setting up a vibrant dialogue between the two texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe introduction and notes are by Kristin Bluemel, Professor of English at Monmouth University NJ, exploring how these short prose texts work as multiple stories: of Inez Holden herself, the history of the Blitz, of middlebrow women's writing, of Second World War fiction, and of the world of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Handheld Classics","offers":[{"title":"Blitz Writing | Inez Holden | Paperback | 9781912766062 | New | Fiction 1658431","offer_id":50783083331842,"sku":"1658431","price":51.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81EEQuYaR_L.jpg?v=1792217357","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/blitz-writing","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
