- Title
Paper Bombs: The Blitz and the Aesthetics of Salvage.
- Authors
Rosenberg, Joseph Elkanah
- Abstract
The article focuses on novelist E. M. Forster and lurking behind the horror of the bonfires lies a more complicated, even ambivalent, set of attitudes towards the destruction of book matter. It mentions Forster's intermingling of anxiety and optimism nicely illustrates Robert Hewison's observation and paper rationing was to last until well after the end of the war, prompting objections of neglect, and even censorship, on behalf of the publishing industry.
