Roger Bromley deals with the ways in which certain popular forms contribute to the social production of memories. The texts he examines include the fictions of R. F. Delderfield and Lena Kennedy. This book should be of interest to students of cultural studies and popular fiction.

Roger Bromley is Emeritus Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Nottingham, UK, and, formerly, Visiting Professor in the Department of English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University.
