- Title
'Everything in the Garden is Lovely': The Representation of National Identity in Sidney Strube's Daily Express Cartoons in the 1930s.
- Authors
Brookes, Rod
- Abstract
The article examines the particular version of national identity produced and reproduced by Sidney Strube's "Daily Express" cartoons of the Little Man in the 1930s in Great Britain. It notes that the Little Man in the cartoons spoke to his readers as one of their own through the language of common-sense. It is said that the Little Man character was not intended to encourage identification by class status but rather by social outlook. It adds that the character embodied a set of social, political, cultural and moral attitudes, which for the "Daily Express," defined the national character.
