Rowse's formative years during one of the twentieth century's most turbulent and intellectually charged decades. With characteristic candor and scholarly precision, Rowse details his life as a young Cornish academic navigating the worlds of Oxford, politics, and literature against the backdrop of economic depression and the looming shadow of war. The narrative presents an intimate portrait of a man deeply engaged with the ideological conflicts of his era, including his own flirtation with and ultimate disillusionment with left-wing politics. Written in Rowse's distinctively assured and sometimes combative voice, the memoir illustrates how personal ambition, intellectual passion, and historical circumstance shaped both a singular career and a generation. It stands as an essential document for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of interwar Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763140341979,"sku":"2026200004766-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0ce118cf-16e1-4ef6-a56c-994919d0ea26.png?v=1778499272","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004766-secondhand-a-man-of-the-thirties","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
