Abstract

This chapter outlines four routes to understanding the way authors navigated the social and commercial power flows of their changing profession. Firstly how the economic drivers for writers made certain lines of work attractive. Secondly how authors became bricoleurs, transforming an aesthetic form into a pragmatic writing process. Thirdly how authors positioned themselves as fans, and interpolated themselves into their readership. Finally how these authors viewed their fiction as part of a ‘geneological tree’ through which stories descend. These four routes enable us to place the legacy of these authors—Clemence Dane, Hugh Walpole, G.B. Stern and A.E.W. Mason—in contemporary media practices.
