R. F. Delderfield's Novels as Cultural History

Begins with a survey of R F Delderfield's knowledge of Napoleonic history as revealed in his three Napoleonic-era novels. In this book, two commentaries follow: the first on English attitudes and actions in a London suburb during the Interbellum (1918-1939) in his novels "The Dreaming Suburb" and "The Avenue Goes to War".
