"The Bright Young People. One of the most extraordinary cults of youth and frivolity in history, they were a voraciously pleasure-seeking band of bohemian party-givers and blue-blooded socialites who romped through the newspaper gossip columns of 1920s London...Drawing on the brilliant, gossipy, and sometimes wrenching writings of the Bright Young People themselves, the prize-winning biographer and novelist D. J. Taylor has produced an enthralling portrait of a vanished age that often eerily prefigures our own. " Index. 16p b/w photos plus a few b/w illustrations in the text..
