Interwar Fiction and the Age of Noise

During the interwar period in Britain, the world was getting noisier with the rise of machines, traffic, and industry.

This noise made people worried about their health and well-being.

Writers like Virginia Woolf and George Orwell wrote about this noise in their stories, showing how it affected people's lives.

Some people even started groups to fight against too much noise, like the Anti-Noise League.

They believed noise was bad for people's health and could make them less productive.

The writers also showed how noise could be a way for people to express themselves and resist things they didn't like.

So, noise wasn't just something annoying; it could also be a powerful force in people's lives.
