A landmark work in British political autobiography, Editor chronicles the remarkable career of Kingsley Martin during his tenure as editor of the New Statesman from 1931 to 1945 — one of the most turbulent periods in modern history. Martin presents an intimate portrait of the intellectual and political landscape of mid-twentieth-century Britain, drawing on his privileged position at the heart of left-wing journalism and public debate. The memoir details encounters with many of the era's most influential figures — politicians, writers, and thinkers — while offering a candid account of the challenges of steering a progressive magazine through economic depression, the rise of fascism, and the Second World War. Written with wit, conviction, and sharp editorial insight, this autobiography stands as an essential document of British cultural and political life between the wars.
