Comment: The necessity of giving an exhaustive information to the people who buy the magazine is tightly connected to the belief that every single citizen is partly responsible for what their country decides on a political level and can contribute to change the short-sighted choices of their government, if made aware of what they imply. This is exactly the core of Bryher's article published in Life And Letters To-day in November 1938. Particularly, in it the writer comments on the events of the just past September 1938, especially the Münich agreements in which the governments of England and France ended up consenting to Hitler's demands in hope of thus maintaining some kind of peace, and she underlines how the attitude of every single English citizen contributed to determine all of that. Every person's role is thus highlighted as essential for the choices made by the whole of society. |
