520 |a The principal purpose of this article is to discern to what extent the middle years of the twentieth century introduced the church, the writer and the artist to each other on its own distinctive terms. Indeed, how were the perspectives of those with a stake in the realm of public expression - the corporations, oligarchies and businesses of British life - influenced by the spectacle of dictatorship abroad? More than this, how did established patterns of public life fragment and reconfigure in response to the realities of dictatorship, and then war? In what follows the most persistent presence is that of the man who in 1929 became bishop of Chichester, George Bell. Many cultural historians have observed that British life was often insular. In what ways was this so? In this context, the article discusses three plays produced in Britain between the two world wars: George Bernard Shaw's {! St Joan}, T.S. Eliot's {! Murder in the Cathedral} and Ernst Toller's {! Pastor Hall}. In the realm of fine art, a discussion of the relief created by Eric Gill for the League of Nations in Geneva precedes an examination of the religious work of Hans Feibusch, much of it inspired by the sympathy of Bishop Bell. In the realm of the written word, the article explores the work of Stephen Spender, W.H. Auden and other less famous poets and writers. It then looks at the contribution of the publisher, Victor Gollancz. The article concludes by noting ways in which patterns of artistic expression and activity were altered by the experience of dictatorship abroad, above all in the new context created by immigration.
