"The world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts," the American author Willa Cather once wrote. Yet for Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster and D. H. Lawrence, 1922 began with a frighteningly blank page. Confronting illness, personal problems and the spectral ghost of World War I, all four felt literally at a loss for words. But as dismal as things seemed, 1922 turned out to be a year of outstanding creative renaissance for them all.
Chronicles the intertwined lives and works of these four writers in a crucial year of change.
