In Graham Greenes Thrillers and the 1930s Brian Diemert examines the first andmost prolific phase of Graham Greenes career demonstrating the closerelationship between Greenes fiction and the political economic social andliterary contexts of the period. Situating Greene alongside other young writerswho responded to the worsening political climate of the 1930s by promotingsocial and political reform Diemert argues that Greene believed literaturecould not be divorced from its social and political milieu and saw popularforms of writing as the best way to inform a wide audience. «
