    In this episode we attempt to wrap things up by returning to conversations with several academics we heard from in earlier episodes. We ask them why it was that our subjects are so much less known than their Bloomsbury set contemporaries? We focus on the end of the Machine Age and its anticipation of the Space Age to come, and ask how our subjects fared in the run up to World War 2 with the competing totalitarian pathways to the future. In particular, we return to the artist and writer Wyndham-Lewis and his short-lived sympathy… for Hitler. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Instead he took refuge in the past, a fantastic and eternal realm of changelings, fairies and monstrous beings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Immensely talented and good looking, in the years leading up to the Great War Augustus John was a celebrity. London restaurants named dishes after him. But now he has faded into obscurity. The man who might today have been as famous as Picasso was unable to live up to his artistic promise. Yet the bohemian lifestyle he led, his dress and commitment to non-conformity was his true great work and was hugely influential. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
